Grrr. Arrgh. We are as gods.
I've been having serious trouble getting my Windows 2000 PC to come online in the little home network here. This is a big problem because I'm migrating all my old files from the laptop (the W2K PC) to the new desktop, and it isn't that easy to transfer files over via HTTP. You can't do multiple-file trasfers, for instance. I've been working on getting the network set up for about 6 hours.
And of course, as soon as I write this, I think "Why not try to set up an FTP server...?" I'm giving it a shot now.
And if you got the reference from the first line of this post, you are a god.
UPDATE: The FTP server worked. I had to reboot the computer because there was some sort of DHCP problem -- my PC had two IP addresses... not as controversial as, say, having two daddies, but still, it wouldn't work. Okay, all you tech-savvy people are saying, "Yeah, FTP should have worked. Why didn't you try that in the first hour, instead of the sixth?" Well. That's a problem. The PERENNIAL problem. I'm NOT a tech geek. I don't know this stuff. I don't care to know this stuff. I just want the fricking thing to work. Without having to spend six hours tinkering.
Sigh. I hate my life.
