Hi Keith,
You bet. And it sounds like you didn't read the bit about
preserving your settings, but not to worry.
O.K. You are clearly making progress. It has seen an
Ethernet device. Now it needs to be told what to do with
it.
Do you reckon you can now manage to download the Ethernet
drivers and install them? Should be a walk in the park
compared to what you've just done.
By the way, did you let that wee lassie of yours help you?
If you did, she deserves a really big treat - and if you
don't get her one, I'll personally come down and demobilise
your system!! (Smile)
George.
