Hi Dave,

I have successfully changed the ip using the Nic_config thingy and when I do and ifconfig I now get the new IP

Do I need to pu anything in the Gateway line?

Incidentally the f**ing thing still won't ping to there, and the ipconfig at the command prompt still draws a blank. I may need to go out and but the router TODAY!

Still the excitement is really building now hyuk hyuk hyuk
