Other Help Topics :: backup/restore fails upon reboot

Thanks; that sounds quite sensible and I will try it.

I did use the ndiswrapper gui (in the dsl panel) and I was not prompted to save the information anywhere. There is a separate shortcut icon to ndiswrapper in the system folder; does that invoke the same ndiswrapper gui app as the DSL panel button? I will try that to see if the behavior is different.

I was not asked for the addresses for the wireless static ip, gateway, broadcast or DNS name servers addresses (unlike the netcard method). As the static IP assigned was different from the one I usually use with this machine, I wonder if there is a way to specify a specific ip address when using this gui?

this go around I will look at the bootlocal files to see if I understand how to save the info to it for an upcoming reboot.

Thanks again.
