However, I seem to have lost network connectivity - I can't ping the Router which is also the DHCP server. I haven't found a way to post the output from dmesg to the Mac side so that I could attach it but I believe the relevant entries are as follows:What kernel version ?
I've recompiled 2.4.18 with SMP support. Regards Clive ____________________________ Clive Menzies & Associates Limited strategies for business http://www.clivemenzies.co.uk 75 Priory Road, London N8 8LR d/l: 020 8348 0996 fax: 087 0705 2066
