Hello Gerald - 

GM> It took me a lot more time to get the W2K system back up
GM> and running than I wanted to spend, but that is because I
GM> complicated the process by installing two mobile racks
GM> (with trays and I bought an additional tray) for the three
GM> Maxtor 20GB HDDs. 

GM> I'm running the W2K box on the Grandfather - Father - Son
GM> principle. The drives are "ghosted", the Registry is "mean
GM> and clean" and if I install a program that doesn't work (or
GM> I don't like), I just swap out the hard drives. It's a very
GM> pricey setup, but I like it and I want to do the same setup
GM> for the XPP (and maybe the WfW311 box) also. 

I suggested this a long long time ago in this echo and some
even tried it until they copied a bad backup over all of their
drives before discovering it was bad. :-( 

I use image copies burned to CDs. 

GM> I sent you e-mail from the addison.kimmel e-mail address,
GM> but I forgot to put Dosghost in the subject line, so I
GM> guess it went to the "bit-bucket". 

Yes, I seldom even try to decipher who is who anymore. If the
subject is incorrect it gets deleted and unread here. 

GM> I found out why I was having so many problems getting DHCP
GM> to assign a local IP address to the W2K box that was within
GM> the range as specified by the router. 

--8<--cut 

GM> I know I told you that I was going to going take "screen
GM> shots" of the LAN "construction" process, but I didn't have
GM> a screen capture program installed (had to have an active
GM> web browser to download). 

Either shift-prntscrn or ctrl-prntscrn (forget which) will
store the graphic in clipboard and can be pasted into just
about any graphics program for saving.

GM> The LAN installation process was really automatic once I
GM> had the router set correctly -- sorry. 

Seems most get so excited when things are working they don't
want to slow down and document what they have done. There are
many websites with partially documented 'instructions' for
various installs which function as camouflage to hide the one
complete set of instructions (if there are any) when Googling
to find them. :-) 

It's one of the many things that makes my tech website a bit
different from the many others. I try to be complete. :-)
