Cold Clone CD - Network Testing Needed posted: May 9, 2009 9:49 AM

Can Support be added for Testing to make sure you can Ping something on the Network, and/or something to test the network configuration? Its difficult to tell which network ports are connected and if the network and if there is multiple network cards in the server which one is connected. It would be ok to add a command prompt to do ipconfig /all and do pings or another method via the Enterprise GUI Tool to do the same.

You can get a cmd-prompt via Mozilla - click open and select X:\i386\cmd.exe.

Or - just use a better handmade cold-clone - this has been discussed several times.

Since Ulli won't come right out and just say it....I will :o)


Use MOA -> http://www.sanbarrow.com/moa.html


It is a cusomizable environment that will let you access so much more than the Cold Clone CD.

Yes, I am an "occaisional" user. Mainly when I need to do funky P2V conversions. I am definitely going to try the USB stick thing now that you pointed it out. I would LOVE it if you could just change your whole site around so that you can syndicate RSS feeds...Just for me :o) That way, I would not miss this stuff.
