cabbitzillaSo, I'd written off the 950, and it had been relegated to gathering dust as I searched for a way to get some DDR and use the newer setup.
Tonight, whilst chattering rather cheerfully with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wibbble, I came across my dusty copy of NT Server 4.0. I think I stared at it for five minutes, and then figured 'What the hell' and popped the bitch into the drive.
It installed flawlessly.
Service Pack 4 installed flawlessly.
The nVidia reference drivers for the GeForce II MX installed flawlessly.
Both network cards configured properly on the fly.
I can now only scratch my head in confusion; I've not changed -anything- in it. It even found and properly configured the Zip 250. So tomorrow, I'll begin playing with getting the DSL modem hooked to it, and getting things like NAT and DHCP working. I'm terribly puzzled by this; as someone who has specialized in x86 hardware, this is singularly frustrating. But the verdamnt thing seems to work, so I'm not going to pry too deeply into the mystery for fear it'll just as abruptly decide to NOT work.
If anyone needs me, I'll be over here trying to remember how to configure an NT server...
