Dear sir/madam,
Let me first give you and idea of our current setup.
We currently have the Dell Poweredge 1800 server running windows 2003 standard edition and they control 2 Dell PowerConnect (2324). One is named students and one is named staff and right now the staff computers cannot access the server. I was looking on the back where the cables are connected and noticed that the students cable into the server is show a greenlight and the staff cable into the server is showing a blinking orange light. I would appreciate one you great Tech Guru's helping me out here.
Unplug from power all things then plug back in,in this orderthe modem,then in 2 minutes,the computer,it should reset

During the Windows XP setup you will need to provide the RAID driver using a pre-formated floppy disk.
Windows will ask you if you want to provide additional drivers and give you the key combination to use to do that.

Hey,
I looked over the spesifications for the poweredge 1800 servers, go ahead, it will work perfectly but there is one problem in the windows XP setup, you will need to insert / load SCSI or SATA drivers for the hard drive With a floppy disk, or if you don't have a floppy drive your going to need to create a custom windows xp setup cd and add the drivers into it so it can start the SCSI or SATA hard drive and finish the install. without the drivers it might not find the hard drive.
Aside from that I don't see any other problems. You should be able to get the drivers, and everything ese from dell site
http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/
Actually I looked over the dell downloads, I see only windows 2000 on the list with windows server 2003, and 2008 and linux distributions.
This could be a 2nd problem, drivers might not be avaialble, or work with xp, but we might be able to get it to work.
So two problems, SCSI or SATA drivers in windows xp / windows 2000 setup
2nd problem is in windows xp drivers, you could try windows 2003's drivers and 2000's and see if they work, if not, then we would have to look for drivers ourselfs from the internet.
So xp might cause headache but we might get it working, windows 2000 seems to be supported perfectly.
Let me know how the project goes
Thanks,
Ekse

The fact that you have a light (green or amber) is a good sign. Sometimes the color of the light shows the speed that the network card supports.
One the "staff" computer...Start/Run and type cmd
At the DOS prompt, type ipconfig /all.
Please let me know what the following settings are:
IP Address:
Subnet:

DNS Server:
Also, has the "staff" computer ever worked on the internet?
