I hope you're not at the end of an 18-hour day. When you get
a look at some of the gobblety-gook in the following config
files, you're going to start hurling. Good luck....here we go.
The "gateway.exe" program that is the main part of GIGO has
the ability to go out and look at a bunch of configuration
files in order to do everything but wipe your butt during
its processing. What I've done is include all of my configuration
files for GIGO as part of this archive. That's the easiest way
to do this.
I highly recommend that you put up with all the comment lines
in the configuration files. They will potentially be important
to you as your Internet setup matures and gets more sophisticated.
Since the comment lines provide the only real documentation for
the GIGO program, if you delete them, you have to refer back to
the original archive copy to add or change lines. Just leave
them as they are and live with it.
You're going to need to look for the obvious lines where you
might have to put some of your own specific information into
the configuration files, but if you've adopted my addresses
then *leave the different addresses as I've shown them*.
One final note.....do *not* let yourself get overwhelmed by
these config files. Just take them a line at a time and make
a preliminary stab at understanding them. The main thing is to
make sure that your addressing is correct and that you've caught
some of the specific lines that you have customize for your
own operation. There's no way I could possibly provide a line-by-
line description of these configuration files so you're on your
own. However, I promise you that if you don't let them get to
you, you'll come out a winner. Obviously, printing them all out
to paper would be a good idea. In fact, I should have told you
to do that with all of my readme files also. Damn shame I waited
until now to tell you that, huh? (Please forgive me, I'm getting
tired myself right about now.)
When you're through with the GIGO configuration files, go to the
last readme file (readme.9th). It holds my batch file that I
call every two hours as an event off of my second node. I hope
that helps tie all this together. I'll have a final thought or
two after I list the batch file.
