Hi Graham Regarding Ping, how do I save the contents of what it reports please? It is coming up with a load of numbers that I don't understand at all. This is out of my league (smile). Takes you back though going to a command prompt and typing in things like cd\ and exit to get out (laughs).

Have found this page for starters on using Ping and Tracert. Some of the values, particularly for pinging a distant computer look a bit low but the way the commands work and what they do is well explained.
