Network storage and Ghost recovery?
|
|
|
| I have a ethernet drive that is storing Ghost images.
This is on a Home LAN peer to peer network.
When I boot from the Ghost CD into the recovery invironment for a disk
restore, and when using the "browse command' to find the network drive,
the Ghost app will not find any devices on the network.
I read something in the help that if there is not a DHCP server you
have to enter the IP address.
Is this the case in a peer to peer network like I have....or should
Ghost be able to find it with the browser?
thanks for any tips

Howdy,
No expert I, but...
I use a bunch of these products (Ghost 9, V2i, True Image)
and all three find the files for restoration with their
browsers.
That said, (though you may well know this already) it is
easy to find the IP address of the system that has the
images:
On that machine, go to Start | Run | CMD, and then when you
see a command prompt enter the command IPCONFIG. After
touching the Enter key you will see a display of a bunch of
info including the system's IP address.
Try entering that in Ghost to see if it makes it happy.
All the best,
