<br>However, even though I can ping these from my laptop, I can't access the web based jabber interface.

</div>Uh, so many ways to skin this cat! You will need an external disk for<br>
this (usb?) and probably a LiveUSB disk (or LiveCD).<br>
<br>
If you are familiar with cloning Linux OSs with rsync, that's one path<br>
(that has a quota of DIY). If you want an easy-to-use answer, I hear<br>
Mondo Rescue is popular and good, but I haven't used it myself.<br>
<br>
Your 2,3,4 steps are right...<br>

</div>Definitely more stable than 0.5.2 which messed up your ejabberd install :-)<br>
