Update :-

Fixed it (eventually)

The online update, as well as causing general chaos, had set the firewall on,
which was blocking all access from the network card.

Changed firewall rules, voila!

Kids amazed they can surf from their own machine.

 Hi Jim,
Don't think slave altered - lost the connection after the online update of
server.
Whilst connected via modem :-

The trouble with doing something right the first time is that no one
