Hi
I have a machine setup as a porxy server, I want to set another one up, but the hardware is different. I've tried cloning the machine using Ghost but when I install it on another, it won't run.
Is there some sort of setup when I start the machine to re-install all the drivers on the new machine?.
I didn't setup the proxy, it is a command line type not the windows type..
