Whoooaa!! I have finally set up the NT server. After three gut wrentching days of clawing through the set-up, all problems have been resolved. The video and hard drive adapters have been recognized. The video card was swapped between two computers so that a proper driver could be installed.

For the record: The current video card on Silverstar is Matrox Millenium G200 AGP (Needed to download from the web)
The video card for Homer is Rage 3D Pro Turbo (driver available on Win 98 disk)

All the web publishing software have been installed (Include Cold Fusion Server and Studio), Macromedia Suite, Winrar, Acrobat, and all the security updates have been downloaded, got a new ethernet card to allow access to the internet. I.E. has been updated to 6.0

One more little problem left to resolve is to acquire a new IDE cable long enough to attach to both the CD rom and the zip drive.

All in all, this was a good day. It was my first attemp of setting up a server from scratch. Thanks to all the people that had helped me along the way.(Cyp, Desmond, and Sean) Now we are ready to create some CF documents for the skylight website.

For my reminder: Need to register the skylight website for a domain name!!
