Still using Windows 95/98 eh Fozza? :lol:Fozza":1tqblf47 said:
(You'll want to do Start / Run / "CMD" / "ipconfig /all" on NT/2K/XP...)
As a mod/admin on phpBB (which is what RDO runs on) there are some mildly entertaining database "tricks" that can be done. - FYI: Your public IP address is stored in the database (not your 192-dot or 10-dot so-called "private" addresses...)
If the board isn't tweaked, mods/admins can see what other aliases have used the same public IP address so changing aliases does nothing at all to "hide" from them. Unless I'm guessing wrong, Matt was somehow checking this.... :wink:

Fozza - If you have a valid license for XP (like if you bought a computer that came pre-loaded with it) I believe you're legal for any previous Windows version which would include 2000. (This is what I do with most machines I buy / config at work... - Buy 'em preloaded w/ XP & slap my own 2000 build on 'em.)
I don't care for XP much either..
Only if you're trying to put them on over the top of the old ones. :wink:
Make sure the hardware in the XP box you're looking to buy is 2K HCL-compliant and nuke the partition / rebuild.
I usually wind up having to do my buys in small batches of a dozen or so and they're usually going to half a dozen departments so I have final builds of 1 or 2 all over the damn place so its a PITA, but I can save time by ghosting out the core OS/AV/FW/Office build and then customize from there.
One of the things I quickly learned from doing that is that M$'s Office activation database doesn't recognize a difference in the machines as long as they have the same mobo/cpu.. :wink: (But we're still legal, having bought all required licenses... Just that we're actually only using 1 activation # for each dozen machines.)

My comp never actually came with an OS.
I bought all the parts seperate and built my own. And had a version of windows 98 from a previous comp.
I've used XP on my bro's comp, when I lived back home in England. I don't actually own a copy, but I've used it and can't say I like it
Hence the reason if I wanted 2k, I'd have to buy it. And cash is something I don't have much of.

Licenses IME are not backwards compatible unless you have a site license at your biz with that explicitly noted. Most license agreements are only for that version on one machine....ie you have a dual boot WinXP and Win2k -- 2 licenses
As an interesting aside...if you ever want a chuckle, go ahead and READ that license agreement....you just paid scads of $$ and the software isn't even yours. You're paying for a license to be able to use the software
Gotta love Microsquish...

You can also save some time by building a slipstreamed version of your OS's to use if you have do lots of diff. customizations. Build a slipstream for each dept. for example and then ghost that one image to that dept.
Depending on how large your user base is, you can really save the time
