Hi All,
First of all Disclaimer: The person writing this mail doesn't know how to write short mails. So, a request to please cooperate with him and forgive his ignorance. Then the problem: I am having a piece of hardware called the Wipro Ezynet Server. This is primarily a Linux based solution for cybercafes. It does not have port for connecting a VDU. I has two Ethernet interfaces, supposed to be remotely controlled using a web browser and does not have ports to connect the keyboard and mouse. The problem I am facing now is that the hard disk has crashed. I have misplaced the cd's and manual of the system. I have replaced the hard disks and now want to use it as an Internet gateway to connect our office LAN to the net. I don't know what to do and how to go about it. Once I tried loading RHL9 on to it. I took out the mbd and connected a pci vga card and succeeded in loading RHL. It has a small socket for connecting a kbd using a connector similar to the ones for mouse we used to have in P-I system. It has some kind of a card used to display the booting info on an LCD screen. The moment I reconnected the card, it just went bust. The card seems to know only the OS it came packaged with and seems to be the loader ( like lilo or grub) for the OS. Anyone have a better idea, how to get it up and running without connecting a VDU, KBD and MOUSE. Pls let me know. If required I will give the complete specs and picture of the system and what is inside. Without the LCD/card, we will not be able to know whether it has booted up or not and with it, it only looks for the OS it cam with. regards, rc -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
