Got it sorted yet, John?
I was mooching about at (in) an old hard-drive this morning (you know, the way you do) and I came across EasyNet!
However, this was an old DOS version from 1988, by EasyNet Systems of Mississauga, Ontario. I probably picked that one up in a
souk somewhere, I expect. It looks like it permitted the connection of two PC's in a peer-to-peer network (that is, without the need of a server) using a serial cable (up to 200 feet long, with 2 and 3 crossed, 7 straight through). Oh yes, life was a lot simpler back then!
But I suppose that things may have moved on a bit since. So, if your IT bods can't sort things out (?), I guess it might take a call to
Easynet themselves! If, indeed, these are the same folk who produced the original software (which I doubt ... not the 1988 version, anyway).
On-line, I found
this .pdf. It looks like there could be a config file called EasyNetSettings.inc that you could take a look at.
