The Wattcp.cfg configuration file

The Wattcp.cfg configuration file

The Wattcp.cfg configuration file contains the TCP/IP networking configuration details for Norton Ghost.

Wattcp.cfg is created automatically when you create a boot package using the

Ghost Boot Wizard.

The Wattcp.cfg file specifies the IP address and the subnet mask of the computer and lets you set other optional network parameters. The file should be located in the current directory when Ghost.exe is started.

Comments in the file start with a semicolon (;). Options are set using the format option = value. For example:

receive_mode=5 ;set receive mode

Wattcp.cfg key words

The keywords in the Wattcp.cfg configuration file are as follows:

Table D-1	Wattcp.cfg keywords

Keyword	Description

IP	Specifies the IP address of the local computer. Each computer must
	have a unique IP address. Norton Ghost supports the use of DHCP
	and BOOTP servers and defaults to using them when the IP address
	is left blank or is invalid. DHCP and BOOTP provide automatic
	assignment of IP addresses to computers. This lets identical boot
	disks be used on computers with similar network cards.
	Example: IP=192.168.100.10

Netmask	Specifies the network IP subnet mask.
	Example: NETMASK=255.255.255.0

Gateway	Specifies the IP address of the gateway. This option is required when
(optional)	routers are present on the network and when participating
	computers are located on different subnets.
	Example: GATEWAY=192.168.100.1

Bootpto	Overrides the timeout value (in seconds) for BOOTP/DHCP.
(optional)	Example: BOOTPTO=60
	Example: BOOTPTO=60
