If you could borrow a monitor, that would be the fastest way.
Correct on these points. Just because you have the ethernet extensions installed, I don't think that means you'll see ethernet as an option when you're not docked, BUT... it's an easy enough experiment to do. Just try it. And yes, a monitor & keyboard/mouse is going to be the quickest thing. The normal thing to do in setting up a "headless" computer is to set it up with monitor, etc., and configure it. Only then do you remove the monitor, etc. > Think the Duo kbd is active even when in the dock, so all you'd need would be > the monitor. Ummm... And exactly how does one access the keyboard when the Duo is in the dock?? - Eric. -- Eric Strobel (fyzycyst@NOSPAM^mailaps.org) ===================================================================== END RADIOPHOBIA!!!
