(0:20:18:56:d3:4c)

and it scrolls on forever down the screen.

netstat -r on the notebook reveals.......

Destination    Gateway   Genmask       Flags   MSS    Window   irtt 
Iface
192.168.1.0     *       255.255.255.0   U       0       0        0   
eth0
loopback        *       255.0.0.0       U       0       0        0   
lo

and the same on the gateway reveals.........

Destination    Gateway   Genmask       Flags   MSS    Window   irtt 
Iface

that's all.  After connecting I get.......


Destination    Gateway   Genmask       Flags   MSS    Window   irtt

So, there you are :)

Hmm.. the weathers looking really bad outside just now :(  There was a
BBC radio rumour about two hours ago that went on about floods in the

Happy new year.
