What to do?
I'm flat. Blah.
My DC herd is in utter dissarray atm.
I had 6 boxes running until a month ago.
When the mobo in my main box died.
Neatly coincided with working outta town.
Not home, no time. Great.
Shuffled boards and boxes a month ago. [OK for the time being]
Back to the dead ends...
Put in plenty of time last weekend, went nowhere.
Put in 6 hours today.
Still going nowhere.
[Not quite true, for every step, theres a slip!]
Auuuggghhh!!!
Got dead drives. Nics that wont talk.
XP appears to be unfathomable when changing hardware.
Even ran up a new XP install on a very noisy drive last nite.
Just for my own edification.
Yep that flash new mobo's sound is dead.
But why teh hell did it not configure the modem?
So tonite I tripped over the long network cable and ripped the shoulders outta of the plug on that nic.
Put in another, XP wont complete the network wizard.
Let alone let my [until now reliable] VNC run.
Are mac addresses that bluddy important?
Auuuggghhh!!!
If this is TIMO Tech Support, then this tech is holding out for some support.
Personally I'm all but fractured.
Keep reminding myself. It's a hobby. This is fun.
NO. It isn't.
Grrr.
