Thanks for the help. I'm making progress although have problems which I think relate to the USB adaptor on my old Win98 machine. Am going to exchange for PCI version.

Things that "confused" me to start with was what to do with the Host Name/Domain Name fields for the router which appeared to be required for the DHCP option. These were presumably optional as I didn't complete them and all seems OK.
I was also confused when I initially powered on the PC, I received the NTL provisioning screen as expected. On completing and powering off as instructed this screen was re-presented. It wouldn't allow the router to be added again and I think that I cancelled this session in confusion, rebooted and all seemed OK.
My problem with the Win98 machine is that I cant get the adaptor to show as "active". Having installed it in the WinXP PC it seems to work so am going to try a PCI version.

Thanks again.
