P2 machine is back online

Powered up the old Pentium 2. Got the printer working and also the new wireless link. Something odd is going on with the IP, it isn't listening to the hard coded IP. Still seems to work. Transferring files from the laptop to the P2 machine. May just end up putting the router back near it and/or running hardline from it to the routers rather than wireless. At least i can now backup files and burn CDs and print again. FTP is still funky on the laptop. Probably will have to do something about that when it gets annoying. Maybe it will all hold up until winter when the weather is bad. Computer room is still a mess.
