Well, If it is booting you are not screwed. The older units stored the OS in flashram. So if you installed drives, it should come up. The model you have may not be compatable with the SnapOS. The Guardian OS had more automated function. You may be able to download what you need from SanpAppliance = Adaptec. I can send you assist but I don't know if it will work with guardian. The Snap Manager should be the same as assist.

Most servers are set with a static IP. Clearing the network settings should reset it to DHCP.

Check the manual and see what the reset procedure is for resetting the network and password or all. What you need should be on the CD. The old snaps when reset would only use DHCP in a NetBuae system, the reason for assist. The newer models supports more protcall, and may show up without assist. Look at your router log and see. If you are mac filtering you should either add the 4200 or drop it off till you get it setup.

The older units use a modified FreeBSD Unix for the base. The manager program can also be used for upgrading the os of needed.
