Made perfect sense to me - you can't lounge languorously on the sofa with a laptop if you have a cat5 cable trailing across the rug! Tain't safe.

Sounds like the wireless works fine but it ain;t routing properly. It's best to configure it not to route but just to act as a bridge between the wired and wireless networks. Whereabouts are you? I'm in London today and can pop in on my way home if you're not too far from Euston Stn.

But there is an anecdotal history of these things suddenly stopping working. Anyway am not amused - sofa people came just now with a replacement cover for the wrong one they delivered it with - and it's still wrong! -- bellajonez at yahoo dot co dot uk |
