Hi Peter

I know what you mean! Yes the router is working becasue the IBM laptop connects well. There is power to the card. When booting, one of the messages is that it cannot find eth0 configuration and then obviously it cannot establish an interface. So I don't know!!

Ah thats the 64 million dollar question, are there any lights on the 
Laptop-Wifi card? that of course will only demonstrate that is got power its 
not a guarantee that its working.

Are you 100% convinced the Wireless router or Modem is offering itself out?

Mo, I'm just guessing I have no ability in this area but it never hurts for 
people to state the obvious its easily missed.
