It works now.  If I were more superstitious, I'd say it was sods law (as 
soon as I post here, it fixes itself), but I'd prefer to think that 
logically something must have changed.  A resource conflict sounds like 
a good theory, although I only have my PCMCIA network card in, as 
always.  How could I find out if there is (sorry, was!) a resource conflict?

Thanks anyway,
