AskWoody LoungerIt’s a dual processor box and one of the processors apears to have given up the ghost! Being a PIII/500 this may cause me problems in getting a replacement.
I’m rebuilding it as I type … I just have to hope that Win2K is enough of an improvement over NT that it will somehow auto-recover my stripe set (NT won’t)! I’m not betting on it! I’m open to suggestions about recovering my stripe set

AskWoody LoungerHi Mark,
It wasn’t the exact solution but it led me towards the one I ended up with … I added the .cgi application mapping but that didn’t work so I edited to mimic the .pl mapping and that did. Then I found the script didn’t work perfectly so I ended up having to hack that too … hmmm … python seems easier at this point
Anyway … thanks for your help

AskWoody Lounger… well mainly.
Thanks Cowboydawg … it was, as the article suggested, an issue of wires and visibility of the receiver from keyboard/mouse … I get very few probs now
Thanks mate

AskWoody LoungerI’m guessing that implies using two cordless devices can be problematic! And I do run all my power cables etc. through the same channel … yarrgghhh!
Thanks for your help

AskWoody LoungerHi Cowboydawg,
Well I figured the position was good being higher than the desk and “visible” to the keybvoard and mouse however, yes, I will try that when I get home
The batteries should be good as t I only took delivery of the unit on Wednesday (two days ago).

AskWoody LoungerHi Doug,
Yes the server is off at present … it will be on around 6pm (GMT) but it isn’t very exciting right now … just a test site.
Thanks

AskWoody LoungerHi Rory,
Yes that makes sense I guess … but should I just accept this and work from the internal IP or should I attempt to figure a way to view it externally?
I guess what I am after is getting the same response as anyone visiting my site and I can’t confirm that without trying externally I guess.
Sorry if I sound a bit muddled but comms isn’t my strong point

AskWoody LoungerHi Trish
Yes, I recently installed both on a PIII/500 for my wife however I have previously had the exact same issue on Win2K and Office 2K on a different machine which (to my mind at least) implies some kind of driver or office issue.
As you say Epson have not created a driver for this printer yet (presumably because it is considered to be well-supported natively under XP). I’m a UK user anyway and I don’t think the 5700 was typically available in the US/Canada.
All of my wife’s documents are new … I think the last time I used Word Perfect was back at the DOS v5.2 level (when computers were *real* computers
).
Thanks for your help anyways

AskWoody LoungerQuick note to say thanks (particularly to Bruce but to the others as well) those threads really helped … I have a largely ad free installation of Kazaa, Bearshare, LImewire, WinMX & Overnet (Grokster seems a bit odd … brings up an interface almost identical to Kazaa). Anyway thanks

AskWoody Lounger… I really don’t want MS’s ‘.net’ stuff at all, I don’t want anything that ties me in any closer than I have to be to MS … I simply want a system that, OS & chosen apps apart, functions as an entirely separate entity from MS … ultimately, though I am not anti-MS, it’s a point of principle that I should be able to run my machine without touching any MS server anywhere in the world withouit it being my choice and my choice alone
The problem I have is just one of the irritating popups … I don’t mind so much useful technical messages (you are connected at … “, “could not connect all drives … ” etc. but I object to having constant invites to “.net” popping up … it’s irritating.
