Will pass it on at the meeting. Nice touch that reset disable! Believe current plan is a bit odd and maybe? clever - what are they missing:

Leave the W2K Server alone, to simply run the RAID for their commonly accessible data storage. They have no need for web-serving, so IIS can't kill them this week or next month.

Run the 3 laptops connected by NICs to that isolated server, via a switch (as now). ISDN via router firewall then goes to each of the 3 laptops via CAT5. Simple switch at each machine selects server OR 'web', never BOTH. No web connection to the ProLiant.. (Pretty expensive disk-drives, eh? But SAFE)

While this won't reduce need for normal prudence - perhaps it won't be necessary to install each WEEK's patch to W2K (and wonder what it broke in previous ones) etc. Of course if something does get to the W98SE clients and they next switch to server - well, WTF..


Cheers,

Ashton
