There's a card in (properly turned off, not causing a problem for the last four months) but the router is too far away to wire it easily. As I say, I have internet access for my mail client, just not for browsing. I might reinstall Exploder and see what happens. Going to look at some other malware scanners, too. Don't know why I wrote "desktop browser" above. It's internet browser. ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.ntlworld.com Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software Visit www.ntlworld.com/security for more information -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
