Al computers hooked up have their firewalls off. The
router does have one built in, but only blocks stuff from
the 'outside'. That's what I thought it may be first, but
no joy. The thing that bugs me is that I can ping and get
replies for a few secs after the machine boots, then
nothing.
Thanks!
Mark.
