Thank you for this ... will attack it in the morning. There is a link from
the the page you recommended that doesn't work - that is the "How to use the
IP Address of Your Internal Network Adaptor for DNS" link. Are you able to
recommend me to an alternative site for this information please?

Also, I am curious about how to switch my modem to router mode. Pray tell
... how might this be done?

Yours Greatfully,

James
