[Wylug-help] IP settings/basic help

[Roger Greenwood]

I just tried Jim's suggestion - plug the kit direct into the wireless hub - it 
works. Jim you were spot on - I need a crossover cable!!

Firing up the laptop now gives me wireless access throughout the house, 
magic!.

It must be ok at work because the unit I plugged into was also a switch - they 
auto-negotiate. The unit at home is a dumb hub.

Thanks for all the comments, particularly Jim & Anne.
