Yes Carroll, I know. Tried once with my daughters XP box. Since
then, no internet access for her. All her networking is done on
her account on my Linux box.
Now, having the day off, I'll send myself harms way and fight that
damned Windows on my pals box. I guess I'll return here shortly
with gazillions of questions, swearing and cursing.....
See ya.
