OK, found that now. you are infinitely more helpful than are the NSLU2
manuals :-)

I have now re-set my eklink to 0 Auto, and will leave it at that
permanently now, as any further fiddling with that is futile; the
router just wont work with it set to 0 10 half/full.

I managed to FTP transfer 18MB of data before once again the NSLU2
'lost connection' with something or other.
I dont have an ext2 or ext3 drive to try. The whole point of using
NTFS drives was that at least I could read/write the data by at least
2 routes: PC and Iyonix via NSLU2. [If I have to install a ext3 reader
in a PC to enable a PC to read ext3 drives, then that isn't a real
option].
At least I can write to the NTFS drive by connecting it directly to a
PC, and going from Iyo to PC via a Share and LanMan98.
This then makes the NSLU2 device useless and un-wanted.
