That was quick - many thanks.

So you agree with the DHCP thing ?

I don't run DNS locally (on windows) - have a large hosts file and it slows down windows at first net access. no sweat as the remote service works.

I made no change to firewall rules when I went broadband. Just had to changee the windows services setup to start DHCP service. I don't run all the windows services automatically. As the install went okay and I am on the network I have to take it that the DHCP 'connection' is working ! but then again I am not a network guy...
