American Civil War Game Club (ACWGC)

Home system seems to be operational now (yeah), but for mysterious reasons my servers are bouncing back to me emails sent using my acwgc account.

A result of something I did to fix the other problem(s)?? No idea. I am giving up on trying to solve the problem and will be using a webmail account to deal with the backlog over the next couple of days.

Gentlemen

I was trying to reshoe the steed last weekend (new hardware) and I managed to first make it lame (no internet) and then cripple it (no CD). I think we have that licked and he should be out for a trot late this eve.

My apologies for any inconvenience I may have caused...

Sirs

My Club activities continue to be severely impaired as I try to figure out what is going on here. Getting here this morning took 4 reboots and that is comparatively good as I actually managed to get here.

My apologies to all, but I am afraid it is not simple. My work situation is such that my home computer is part of my work and the nature of how I have been operating involves 4 machines, 2 operating systems, 3 portable info transfer methods, 2 networks, and 2 servers.

In the past 3 weeks 2 of the machines, 3 other pieces of hardware, and 1 operating system have changed. Add to that the installation of 3 new significant pieces of software and one very flakey server and you have a situation where it is very difficult to tell what the cause of any particular symptom are, or if it is a single problem or multiple, or if it is specific conflicts between any 2 parts of the system.

I ask your patience and indulgence as I continue to try and resolve this.

Thank you

Hey Mike,

I found your manual lying here, wrapped around 3 cigars. If you want, I'll have Longstreet send it over along with some "tech support" boys, and a 12#er, and then we'll "misfire" some cannister into your base unit. You can then take the insurance money and buy a brand new horse.

Sound like a plan? [:I]

Good luck!
