Thanks for that, but re looking into the problem for setting up the PC, is
there doesn't seem to be a way to provide the password. I am using a WAVELAN
Orinoco card (card is about 2 years old), in it control panel settings, I
can specific the network name, and there another tab which specifies the
encryption key to use. I have looked in the general network setting, but
there nothing there :-(
Any ideas
Thanks
Mark.
