Showing the Ghost Client Debug Window
If you are having problems getting a client computer to connect back to the Ghost Console, one of the first things you will want to do is to go to the client and look at the debug window. To do this, perform the following steps:
- Login to a computer that has the Ghost Console Client installed
- Hold down the Ctrl key
- Slowly move your mouse cursor to the upper left hand side of the screen
- This will cause a new ghost icon to be displayed in the system tray. Right click this and choose “Show Debug
This will bring up a DOS style screen that shows the communication between the client and the console server. Given this information, you can move on to your next step in the troubleshooting process.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I have successfuly installed the ghost client in my xp machine and it shows me “managed by console server(ghostserver)” on the client machine but the client doesn’t show up in the console server i tried it so many times by reinstalling but still it doesn’t show up.Any suggestions to show it up in the console server so that i can start cloning the machine from the image on my server.

I’m new to ghost. I found your site while trying to add some new machines into the ghost console. They were originally imaged by PXE Booting them. I followed the steps for the debug window.
10.11.8.201 Status to 10.11.5.6 1347
Looks correct. But can’t see the machine at all in console. Don’t have an icon for that machine. Is there a way I can manually add a machine in console and give it the correct name?
