Bob - thanks for the reply. Please go to my original post of 7-8-2005, same subject. There is additional background there.

Does that help?

Dave,

If you're having problems with network sensitive programs not starting properly
when there's no network (ie other computer powered off), why not replace the
cross-over cable with a switch, and a pair of straight-thru cables?

Have the switch powered on first, and which ever computer starts up, in what
ever order, there will always be a network. Once both computers are powered up
and on the login screen, log each in and start the RD applications.

Switches are cheap, and can improve your diagnostics by providing status lights.

Chuck -
Good thought. Thank you.
