    Good Afternoon!

    I'm trying to install Tapeware 7.0 on a SuSE Enterprise Server 9 box. The
    TapeWare installer program fires up and lets me get to a point where I can
    enter either the name or IP address of our master server on our internal
    network. I've entered the server information into the /etc/hosts file and
    can ping it by either name or address with no problem. However, after
    entering the server information (I've tried both IP address and name), the
    process just sits there. What should happen is that the new install machine
    will talk to the server, then proceed to the next step of the install.

    I've talked to Tapeware support and their answer is that they only support
    SLES8, or SuSE 7.3 and 8.0. I loaded SLES8 which doesn't find/support my
    Adaptec RAID controller, then subsequently reloaded SuSE 9.0 which had been
    on the machine for months with Tapeware loaded and working. The last time
    with SuSE 9.0 resulted in the install program behaving exactly the same way
    as it is now behaving with SLES9.

    Does anyone have any idea of where I can go from here or has had this
    experience before?
