OK.... we now have 'partial success'.

Next attempt..... manually assign a 'static IP' & manually set the DNS

--- in arachne.cfg ---

my_ip = 192.168.2.100     ;<-- IP address where you got "login success"
netmask = 255.255.255.0
gateway = 192.168.2.1     ;<-- IP address of router
sockdelay=60
hostname=arachne
mss=1600
nameserver = 192.168.2.1  ;<-- IP address of router
------
------------------------------------------------------------

If that fails, try .... my_ip = 192.168.2.101
(the IP referred to in this line)
