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

Glad to hear that it is solved..

But something else, "OFF-TOPIC" not-raq related ...

I think these switches have thier own monitoring software on a CD.
Just install it on your main Server to monitor the whole thing without
having to check things manually.

We use 3com... and they have thier own Network & Switches monitoring System.
