Spots

give the workstation a different name.

ok.. will do.. thanks for continuing tothink in my direction.

Ihope to be taking action as per our resent backup discusssions in the near future when I have my next stretch of clear headedness. I never know when this is going to happen<g> In the meantime I will continue to familiarize myself.

Latest Bomb dropped on my house:

Remember that Cornerstone 50/101sf 21'' monitor I've been waiting a month for High Point Liquidators to replace the bezel on? Well, the bezel has been replaced but now they tell me there are other problems and the unit has to be RMA d back to Cornerstone. The rep I had been dealing with has left or been fired. And all they can do is say..Sorry. I'm really tired of switching my old monitor back and forth between 2 computers.
So i'm back to searching for the refurbed Viewsonics. This is a real bummer..I think this time I'll take a G810 if I can find one. Last attempts were limited to P815 and I passed up on the more commonly available G810s.

Speaking of NT networking, perhaps you (or others) can help me with my current brain teaser.

I now have the 3 BH6/300a machines up and working great. All 3 are using 3com XL NICs into a fast hub, which is also connected to my DSL modem. Only weird problem is that while all 3 machines have unfettered access to the net via the hub (and hence must be wired properly) machine 3 cannot see 1 or 2 and vice versa, even though 1 and 2 can see each other just fine. Seems puzzling.

But Spots, your post may hold a clue. Machine 3 included a clone of a partition from machine 1, and perhaps I didn't rename everything correctly. I did rename the computer in network properties, but perhaps I neglected something else, or something didn't take.

Any ideas? Any info I could add to make this query clearer?

TIA,

Dave

PS if anyone wants to direct me to the definitive consensus or summary of the Spots/ZP/Clarence KOT-partition discussion, I'd be interested in checking it out. I've missed the bulk of the discussion, and may not be able to backtrack through all the back and forth.
