I have tried posting this a couple times already, but haven't seen it yet,
so once again:

All who responded had the same basic answer. There is no separate Ethernet
address. The address is obtained from the ID PROM, not the Ethernet board.
A couple responses hinted that the problem was that both boards could not
be on the same subnet. This was exactly my problem. Everything worked fine
once I set up the netmasks correctly.
Thanks to everyone who responded, and espescially:
