    Here's a cut and paste of how I explained how to set up GCOM v2.2 back in November. Should work the same way. Also, I've never successfully used wget with GCOM, so I just use Internet Explorer instead since Firefox tends to screw up the download.

    Open up the command prompt by going to Run and typing in cmd.

    Step 1 - Getting your PC's IP address on the home network **Skip this step if you already know what it is**
    Type in ipconfig and hit enter. Take note of the IP address as you'll need it in step 3.

    Step 2 - Changing the prompt's directory
    Since you need the prompt to look into whatever folder you have GCOM22 extracted in, you need to use the cd command. Type in cd (whatever folder GCOM22 is in) and hit enter. An example of this would be cd C:/documents and settings/owner/desktop/gcom22.

    Step 3 - Making the DOL file
    Type in gcom22config -pcip (your PC's IP) -gcip 192.168.1.32 -mask 255.255.255.0 and hit enter. An example of this would be gcom22config -pcip 192.168.1.102 -gcip 192.168.1.32 -mask 255.255.255.0

    I've used WGET to stream files and it works good. I have heard that there is a chance that using IE or Firefox can corrupt your download. WGET is safe and easy to use.
