Re: [cobalt-users] locked myself out - one computer only-help?

["Al-Juhani" <aljuhani@xxxxxxxxx>]

on the windows 2000 Computer:

Start / RUN / then type "cmd" to launch the dos command prompt, then at
prompt type:

IPCONFIG

and press enter,

This should reset your ethernet to reflect the new changes of IP and Subnet.
Note the output will dispaly:

Adapter Domain  Name:
DNS Server:
IP Address:
Subnet Mask:
Default Gateway:

what you should look at the last 3 above.

Windows 2000 and XP do not require a reboot after changing IP and Subnet,
just
run IPConfig.
