It cleared things up nicely for me. Craig
Tried that yesterday when Amarok stoped working. And until K3B made it's noise I thought that the problem was with the soundcard. And no I've no internet on that machine! On the router the green light is lit, so it apparantly 'sees' the linbox, but the linbox doesn't even see then router when I use the router's IP address. Dotan Cohen http://song-lirics.com
