Thanks for the reply.  I really don't think home networks are the
biggest issue.  Tons of folks do manage to get them set up with no help
or the help of a friend.  Of course wireless makes it worse, but...

I'm not using any firewall since I don't use the browser.  My feeling
are most security issues are caused (A) by browsing and (B)email or IM
type use.

What seemed to make everything start working was changing the IP
addresses when I finally got to the point where the receivers would
allow me to assign static addresses.  I'm surmising it was a DHCP issue
even though the receivers were getting ip's.  If that's the case, it's
just those good old cheap Linksys routers.  That's the reason I'm
saying Logitech should make an GUI to assign ip addresses from SC to
the reciever.  I really think it would help immensely.

While I have you, is there a sure fire way to get the receiver to give
you the choice of using static addressing?

Also, looking back now, I realize the first issue that pointed towards
a problem was when Flickr quit working as a screen saver.  I didn't
realize it was related until I got everything working again last night
and my Flickr screen saver started working again.

Thanks,

Howard
