Subject:	SCOUG-Help: ridiculous TCP/IP connundrum

Content Type: text/plain

I'm trying to conform the setup on a laptop with eCS
2.0 RC4, based on what clearly works in the 1.2 (GA)
setup on the Shuttle, which has been my principal
computer for the last couple years or more. The
settings are for a fixed IP and a hardware firewall.

The problem is, I just can't access the TCP/IP
notebook in the well-established 1.2 partition. But
that setup accesses the internet several times each
day, so obviously it works. Wherever the TCP/IP
settings are hiding, I can't find them. There is NO
Network object in System Setup. I believe the problem
must be related to a farkled eCS install, way back
when. (PEER and a few other things did not go on
either, apparently because of installer confusion
related to the dual NICs on the Shuttle. Bob Blair
said that was not an issue for him on other computers,
but I'd love to know how he finessed it.)

In fact, the only successful FULL install of eCS I've
ever managed (on my own) came on another computer,
using a new hard drive with nothing on it. That
proposition is a guaranteed failure on this Shuttle.
Steven did a full install on it once with a 2.0 beta
(not on the regular hard drive), and THAT required
more than a little legerdemain.

Anyway, I wanted to refer to the TCP/IP notebook, in
order to crib the exact settings for the laptop. (In
the laptop's RC4 partition, there IS a network object,
with a clickable TCP/IP notebook.) I'm really lost
without that object, don't know where else it may
live, for manual invocation. Tried TCPCFG.Exe, but
that didn't get me anywhere. If I go into MPTS and
try to edit the TCP/IP, it just asks for a range -- a
number from 1 to 56.

I know those setting must be there somewhere, even if
I can't bring them up. I guess this is a good
argument for having a complete install.
