Back to Work
Well, I had a long day yesterday.
I got the server back up and running yesterday and worked out all the “little issues” that everyone had after shutting down for the weekend. Honestly, I don’t think these folks ever turn their PCs off unless there’s an emergency. It wasn’t too bad, though, mainly a couple of printing problems.
I did have one strange thing. Well, one really strange thing. We use DHCP, specifically, the Windows NT 4 DHCP server. Most of the PCs got addresses without any problem, but a couple of them somehow got assigned an IP address in the restricted range and couldn’t connect to the network. A quick “ipconfig /release” and “ipconfig /renew” took care of the problem, but it shouldn’t be happening at all. Strange. If I get time this week, I’ll try to track it down.
I’m still putting things right on my patio. Dragging out the plants and such. And, clearing the junk away, too. Lots of junk. Some of it will stay in the garage, I think. Dead plants in their pots and the like. I’m taking my time, though, since my back still hurts from moving my ex-wife’s stupid frangipani. Not sure why I don’t just kill that thing and use the pot for something else. Seems too wasteful, I guess, to kill a good, viable plant. Anyway, as I bring stuff out, I’m redoing how the patio is laid out. It’ll be nicer, I think, when I’m done.
