many thanks for all your suggestions - although I don't entirely understand
yours, John and would appreciate further elucidation.
However, we have found a solution which might be of interest.
We ran the setup disk for the (ADSL) modem which included network
configuration having connected the modem to the switchbox via a network
cable. We had to set all the computers to automatic configuration of IP
address. Everything burst into life - including my new Ipaq that I'd all but
given up on!
Thanks again - any comments would be of interest.
