Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Strange and Not Good Results

Content Type: text/plain

Steven & Steve S.,

First of all, thanks again for all of your time &
effort yesterday at the Help Desk. Alas, I'm afraid
the net result may have been 1 step fwd. & 2 steps
back.

When I hooked up the XPC again at home, I found that
(both) iterations of W2K _continue_ to be able to use
*either* ethernet port at will, just as before. NO
Red X's. (This is using the retainer-less crossover
cable, out from the firewall box. I did not try the
regular ethernet cable, which had worked there on the
Giga port.) Somehow, this did not really shock me,
despite the near-certainty of your diagnosis.

AND, how then to explain the following?: In the ECS-2
boot (1.1, unchanged at all yesterday), the 10/100
port -- which you were convinced was out of commission
-- continues to work as before. In the ECS-1 boot
(1.2), where we substituted an *apparently* working
config for the 1K port, it does not work AT ALL, with
either cable. So, the 1.2 partition is now without
any broadband connectivity.

Any (revised) theories ?

Under the circumstances, I'm disinclined to "fix" that
crossover cable, but I do hope there is a good chance
we can at least restore the system to the "status quo
ante" (prior existing circumstances) at the meeting on
Sat.

Regards,

Jordan
