Hi Jonathan,

Been way for the weekend & just opened your very
comprehensive answer.

All settings not already in place now tried with two
exceptions.

1. Re. (with UPnP support) When I click Start, All
Programs, Accessories, Communications, Network
Connections, we have Broadband, LAN or High-Speed
Internet & 1394 Connection options. Nowhere could I see
Internet Gateway. NB The Broadband option is shown as
disconnected as we access this through the LAN, Disk-
online server & ADSL router.

2. Re. (QoS Packet) Could not locate this via your
listings but by searching on Help this was referred to as
Network Connections, Local Area Connection, File menu,
Properties but no luck here either.
