Hi DC,
I tried this, making sure TCP/IP was in basic mode, then copied/
emulated the same settings from a hard-wired networked tower that was
online successfully. TCP/IP kept saying the settings were wrong (it
did not like the router address starting with 192, insisting its
address was 169, which, according to Dan, is by default wrong
itself!).
Thanks,
Dana
