Thanks for the suggestions but Ive done all that

I have a snap 2000 and a snap 4100 both with new 120 gig hards drives and current OS and am familiar with the ins and outs of communicating to these servers.

The issue here is that the server can not be found on the network using assist even after a full reset the server

The following is a good way if you use DHCP for the server IP so you dont need to look for it you can call it by name, this is all well documented on Snapappliance.com

example my 2000 snap server number from the back panel is 554678 and http://snap554678 starts up the home page fine because I havent renamed the unit

This also works for my 4100 server

I hard code the IP for these units now,

but back to the 2200

This unit came wth no drives
I put 2 Deskstar 60gigs in this 2200, (they came from a 4100 ).

the 2200 did not format the drives and did not show up on the network even after looking with ASSIST and looking at my router to see if it shows up on the log and its doesnt appear in Network neighborhood in XP pro

I may just sell this the way I bought it with no drives to someone that can figure this all out.

Any suggestions are appreciated

Thanks / Ed
