Aha something shows up... My router replies with the address ok follwed by ;; Warning Message parser reports malformed message packet ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached. I've no idea what that is but my other machines never seemed to have had any problems with it! The 2nd one returns the ip OK The 3rd just timed out. I've swapped the order round & WAHOO it appears to be working. I have had them in different orders before now but think the ldresd may still have been interfering. I've put the router at the bottom of the list for now until i find out what's up with it.
