[SWLUG] help with fixing machine

[Terry John]

To find your IP addresses the commands are

Win98 : winipconfig
W2000: ipconfig (From a cmd prompt)
Linux: ifconfig

If you can access your router, probably via a web interface it should
also be able to show you the addresses of attached devices

fixing strategies

As reported recently I have a machine with hard disk problems.

The main linux disk seems to be working but is continually developing
faults.

These are my possible lines of strategy.

there are 3 disk on this machine each 20 GB. 
1 win 98. 1 linux and one linux for extra data They are all fairly full.

I is old about 8 years old and is a 795 mhz amd
Bot sure about bioas at present.

1st strategy put in a fourth disk and using knopix copy across the data
I wish to back up.
There is a separate home partition.

2 nd strategy try to ftp he files to this win 2000 machine

I have  a router How do i ftp  the files across. What are the addresses?
How do I find them?

I would appreciate any advice /tips.

Neil
