Hi Tim,

Ok. I'm not going to reinstall the OS again - that has been done at least
10 times over the past year. I am over OS installs. ANd the attandent lib
updates.

The first problem I had with the guide was talk of static IP addresses. I
KNOW what IP addresses are - but why do we need them for a TV content machine?
I have ADSL delivery of internet and email content to my home, so ip addresses,
static or otherwise, really have no place in the scheme of things. That is
all handled 'magically' (read invisibly) for me.

Steve.
