Hi, gang. I'm posting from my new machine of the previous cry for help. The network is up and working (and my frame relay into the internet, or I wouldn't be posting -- not dialed in). I have only vague notions of what fixed it and no idea of what was wrong in the first place. I will detail my steps in a later post for everyone's edification and comic relief. However, basically it was keep flailing the problem till it goes away. It's execrable that this is the way most Windows problems are solved. But (unless you're a hell of a lot better at it than I am or anybody else I know) that's the way it's done. It's the way problems were always solved in (as Sean puts it) "Real" OS's too. But at least those OS's were designed for pros (i.e., people who got paid) to keep them running. Windows (and that includes nt 4.0) is marketed for consumers. So that sucks. Now I have supported these things way back when, so deserve no particualr symapthy (as opposed to help, which I deserve when I can get it <g>). Sorry, diverted. Must be elation -- what to they call it? -- oh, "Rapture of the deep". Went off the deep end there ... Anyhow, I will detail my steps later. Seems like it might have some use.
