The Wattcp.cfg network 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

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

Wattcp.cfg keywords

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 
(optional)

Specifies the IP address of the gateway. This option is required when 
routers are present on the network and when participating 
computers are located on different subnets.

Example: GATEWAY=192.168.100.1

Bootpto 
(optional)

Overrides the timeout value (in seconds) for BOOTP/DHCP.

Example: BOOTPTO=60
