Many thanks to Jo, David and Paul. I keep forgetting to try the Pram
zap. I did get it to function after talking rather sternly to it
and hitting it with TechTool Pro and Yasu. TechTool reported that
the network was fine.
I don't know which did it...probably the tongue lashing. Once I
set it up at my friend's place I will zap the pram to be doubly sure.
I have read quite a few conflicting reports about the validity of
zapping the Pram, but in the past have had success solving some
problems by doing it.
Once again, thanks to the collective knowledge of this group.
regards
Kev
