I'm afraid I don't have a Thomson either. I did manage to get one up and running but it was with a TurboNet card (I got bored of waiting 5 minutes to boot up with a Cachecard in it!) and it's now gone back to it's owner. I did hit the same sort of problems that Simon's hitting though. My problem is that as there was no magic line of UNIX that solved it immediately I'm still slightly in the dark as to what I did. I can take you through the same steps I took but it may or may not make the difference...
