I cut the script because of the word wrap when I responded to the message.
If anyone wants the script, they will have to seek out your original
message or write to you.

So, you've noted my message about my little run in with W2K, my inability
to deal with the problem and you are now "hinting" that I should regress to
Win98SE?  [grin]

Jesting aside, my IP address _should_ be static on the LAN side of the
firewall.  Is that correct?  I know the local network addresses were always
within the 192.168.x.x range _until_ I changed the workgroup name on the
XPP and somehow, IPCONFIG /ALL on the W2K box showed a 169.254.xx.xx
address and Zonealarm had "hissy-fits" on that address.  I can't explain
it.  I didn't think that changing the workgroup name would affect the local
IP addresses.  I still feel the name change is unrelated to my current
plight.

About the script that you posted...  You are making a reference that it
worked on your Win98SE.  Is it generic enough to work on NT type systems?
Since I only have the XPP left running, I'm somewhat hesitant to attempt
it.

           Cheers ... Gerald
