Thanks for your response Eric. I just tried it and
unfortunatly, I still am not successful with the wizard.
The bummer is this time, the error message doesn't give
me any clues as to what the error is. The wizard just
ends with a 'Cannot complete network wizard. . . config
manually or with different settings' -- Any suggestion on
what I can do next?

THANKS very much for your help.

Sheryl
