Thanks Anthony, I think I see what you mean. The router has the username/password for the ISP account programmed in, so a network device is not needed. This box is at another location so I won't be able to work on this for a couple of hours, but will reply later with (good) news. Just to clarify, or display my ignorance, when a browser requests a site, the ISP & DNS will be found through /etc/hosts, if not then /etc/resolv.conf and then to the eth1 device to the router and beyond?
