Hallo gang.

It's the router wot won it.

Router set up, after a bit of fiddling (and Dark, wouldn't go unless I hit the CLONE MAC button on the Belkin set-up page), et voila, www access on G3 and iMac.

Now, apart from INCREDIBLE relief (I gave up drinking 5 years ago, but have been sorely tempted in the past weeks), some points.

1. CAN I TURN THE G3 OFF or I am stuck with the machine forever? I shall try disconnecting it a bit later, but I am suspicious.

2. WHAT DOES THIS ALL PROVE (except that you are a great bunch of people, and I am glad you are there)? What does it prove in terms of me having a pop at NTL - if nothing else, to enable me to get my G3 off my desk and down to Oxfam.

3. WWW. It's not about downloading pretty piccies or tunes, it's about this, the exchange of knowledge and information, and as such, utterly invaluable.

4. Didn't try the new form of the sudo string, Mark, as the Router arrived first. And hospital says my blind eye will 'probably' get better. (Probably?)

5. STB has been there for years, and G3 working on ntl broadband alongside the tele, no previous problems.

6. Dark. Thanks a million for your input, particularly getting up in the middle of the night, to boot. No, my choice of words over the 'legal' business was wrong. I meant 'legitimate' in the broader sense, i.e. I would never buy something as complicated as a Mac from the likes of PC World. Ink cartridges, maybe.

So, I sit here smugly, two computer screens on and glowing, waiting for your comments (as usual!)

A happier Allen.
