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

Table D-1 Wattcp.cfg keywords
Keyword Description
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
