WOW! Who's on first?

If I am not totaly confused here (and I may be after reading all of that), let's see if I can add 2 cents to help out...

Blue, after reading all of that, I am wondering a couple things here. He said one of the SNAP servers just said SNAP server on it, with no model number. That sounds like a SNAP 1000 since that is the only one I know of that does not put the model number right on it (I could be wrong tho). He did say it was "older".

Also, at one point, the SNAP he is working on, based on light descriptions, sounds like when he connected the IDE cable the drive was busy a while (doing either a format or disk check maybe?). Then later he mentions that the light is no longer constant and blibks now and then (sounds normal to me), so maybe it is up and running now after a format or disk check and the drive IDE connected now? But he says he can't connect to it. Okay, so maybe it is an older OS, is not on the IP he thinks it is on, and it is there, he is just not using the right IP or needs the Assist Program due to being a real old OS?

Koenig, do me (us) a favor here please. Seperate the two SNAP servers here for us and give us a full description if you can. i.e. What it physically looks like, model numbers if present, lights on it, etc.... Then call them SNAP #1 and SNAP #2 so we know which is which. This MIGHT help in sorting this out and even being able to use one to get the other one working. Step back, take a deep breath, and let's do this step by step. By the sounds of it, I think Blue68f100 (or someone) here can help you to a logical conclusion if we go step by step with more clarity.

The SNAP you said looked like it was working, but you could not connect to, MIGHT BE set to DHCP and may be pulling an IP address. Do you have a Router or Server that provides DHCP and has the ability to tell you what all is connected and what IP was assigned? (some routers will give this info and some won't for example).
