My internet service is ADSL, said to offer up to 20 Mbps ( by the telephone/internet service provider but not by me!). This is where it may start to get a little more complicated :-). Perhaps I did not explain myself very well previously - I USED to get the IP Address conflict message but I haven't had it for a while. I did for a brief period try to replace my 'G' type modem router with a cheap 'N' type router, using the 'G' type in place functioning only as a switch. My simple logic was that it might give me a bit more speed and a few more wired ports but I could never get it to function consistantly so I went back to square one - the IP Address problem may well have been related to this brief trial.

I have a simple home wired and wireless network and the iPhones connect to that,, what else is there? Regarding the Command Prompt, again this may be where it starts getting complicated. My Vaio MM PC is running Win7 Home Prem. but the other 3 (workstation, laptop and netbook are all running Win XP (fully updated with Service Packs etc.). The workstation is a wired connection only, the laptop is both wired and wireless and the netbook is wireless only. Running Command Prompt and ipconfig gives the following results on the items running XP: - All Default Gateways are 192.168.0.1 All Subnet Masks are 255.255.255.0 IP Address on workstation is 192.168.0.9 IP Address on laptop is 192.168.0.3 (ethernet) and 192.168.0.11 (wireless) IP Address on netbook is 192.168.0.6 Because the Vaio is running Win7 the answers are somewhat different: - Autoconfig IPv4 Address is 169.254.177.139 Subnet Mask is 255.255.0.0 Default Gateway is ......... (nothing other than a series of dots) Command Prompt also lists 4 Tunnel Adapters, (3 ISATAP and 1 Teredo Tunneling), none of which means anything to me but may, hopefully, mean something to you :-) Hopefully you can stick with me for a bit longer.
