[dba-Tech] WorkGroup problem

That Kaboodle looked interesting so I put it up on my main machine but it
only sees two one of the five other machines on my network.  And the connect
button to take control isn't active.  Do I need a copy of Kaboodle on each
box just to see what tasks are running?

After some experimenting, I discovered something interesting. My hardware
skills are insufficient to explain it, but anyway. I have two routers, one a
wireless Dlink and the other a wired LinkSys. The two boxes connected to the
Dlink could not see the other two. So I rewired everything and connected
everything to the Dlink. Lo and behold, suddenly everyone can see everyone
else.

I haven't yet removed the wired LinkSys from the setup. The Dlink connects
to the LinkSys and now it is redundant, since I don't have that many boxes.
But even without its removal, I have arrived where I wanted to go. Whew!

Incidentally, I also run Kaboodle from my main box (the only one with a 19"
flat monitor), and Kaboodle can see everything, so I can run anything on any
box without switching boxes. Cool!

In case anyone doesn't know about Kaboodle, just google it. It is pretty
cool if you have multiple boxes and/or multiple networks.
