Well, only you can determine what you changed. Try booting with the SCSI
out. If the diskettes work, then we can guess that's where you stopped
working on the diskettes last time.

This would all be much easier if you kept some notes of what you did when.
Your nature is to try to do too much at one time compared to how much you
can recall from memory.

Well, a simple one sentence question here would have gotten you an answer
in minutes if anyone was around.

Well, unless you have all the applications installed to the boot partition
or you really meant to say you intended to clone all the partitions with
the same drive letters your intended method would not achieved the result
you desired.

Never mind. I figured out from your subsequent posts that you were using
a router, not Injoy. The both do the same thing.

Whatever. You are probably using IP addresses in the 192.168.x.x range.
These are private addresses with everyone uses. There's nothing special
about them other than that your ISP wiil not route them onto the Internet
backbone unless they make a mistake. I don't the need the ethernet
addresses of your NICs. FWIW, your NIC addresses are in every IP packet
you send to your ISP so it's not like they are hidden.

I need to be able to correlate the IP addresses to the particular boxes to
be able to say anything useful.

Just rerun the traces. I'll lose to obsolete ones.

It's your system. We can only provide guidance.

Mixing and matching like this is one to be better ways to get in trouble.
You should be using the same version of the drivers on all your boot media
and all your boot partitions. Sometimes you can get away with mixing and
matching at random. It does not appear that you have this freedom.

No.

No.
