still no good. The local area connect is enabled. What I can not understand is that it was working on the install day with the ethernet cable.

I seem to have two Ip addresses one for the ethernet and one for the usb?

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 82.11.166.41
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 82.11.166.254

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Autoconfiguration IP Address. . . : 169.254.49.192
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :

Any ideas?

Many thanks!
