As far as I know the computer was never named woodie and certainly not
by me. However when I go to the router page there is a WiFi connection
called woodie with the same IP address as daniel which is shown as
connected to ethernet (inactive). Anyway I have renamed the wifi
connection as Daniel. This machine has had so many linux upgrades and
re-installs I don't know.
Something has just struck me I used my copy of XP to obtain the
driver for NDisWrapper
could it be that woodie was a windows user at one time and that the
router assigned this to the wireless connection?
