Laura, Thanks ever so much for all your help. I will be trying some of these things soon, but for now, I'm one of the over 400,000 people in St. Louis without power. My workplace is closed, too, so I might end up waiting it out
One question, if you don't mind and have a minute: How do I reboot the server if I can't log on?
