Thanks for your answer. But can you explain the Network
Bridge? I have looked up your website link, I think I
understand it? (that if there are 2 or more LAN
connections on the host, a Network Bridge is needed),
but I only have one Ethernet LAN connection, with the
Cisco Aironet Wireless LAN Client (the one actually
connected to the internet, acting as the 'Host'). So do
I really need to use the Network Bridge? If so? How do
I connect them, would it be bridging between the Cisco
Aironet and Ethernet LAN on the same computer? How
would I configure it, the same as the Ethernet or same as
Cisco one? I cannot use any other computer to set up a
Network Bridge, as they are not my computers, can only
get others to set theirs up - using either the 'Network
Setup Wizard' or manually setting it up. Hope your
system keeps on working. As mine did work once!
