Thanks - That issue is now solved, however my main issue is not :-) It would
appear that my wireless connected laptop cannot connect to the internet as my
DHCP cannot get an IP address so is defaulting to APIPA (169.xxx.xxx.xxx)
which is incompatable with wireless. (I think I have that right). Anyone out
there know how to resolce the DHCP issue??
