I don't know a bit of Swiss or German, so you're way ahead of me! I know
some of my posts were largely rants about a myriad of problems... it's just
not supposed to be that way (so difficult) and I figured someone would see
that I was flailing and try to help me see the big picture as to why I was
having so much trouble with the 40gb drive, and/or the diskettes. It seemed
like everything I tried, be it on my own volition or as advised on the
forum, turned into an endless stream of problems.

Sorry about that; in part, I was trying to answer Steven's questions that
were posted against this topic.

In some prior posts, Steven had been upset that the post title kept
changing, back when we first started discussing the 40gb ide problems on my
AMD. That's partly my fault, as I changed the topic title as the problems I
was seeing changed. So, I tried to keep the same thread for the AMD
40gb/diskette problems, and then started a new thread (this one) for the
"router settings" problem on my P2.

When Steven expressed his confusion, I recapped both sets of problems in
this thread.

To me, those are related. I was trying to get a set of installation
diskettes so I could build a vanilla Warp on the AMD that would overcome the
problems I was having booting the cloned Warp system and having it recognize
both the scsi and the 40gb ide drive.

> LinkSYS Router

I did use a new topic title for this. As it turned out, I also used that
vanilla Warp partition (when I was finally able to get around all the
install diskette problems) to determine that the "www.abcdefg.com" alert
message did not occur with my browsers; that way I hoped to compare the AMD
vanilla Warp settings to the P2 settings to try to figure out why the P2 had
the problem.
