I think I have just had an Aha! experience........
The Router was set to access Demon's server in it's onboard system.
my Iyonix was set to access the network server which in turn accessed the
Router.....which accessed Demon "on my behalf"
What I have done is to set the Iyonix to access the Router which interfaces
with the Net.
Simple really..and the extra Host names and addresses were for a printer and
a Unix machine that ran the printer.
But where does AUN come in?
Hope fully you will all forgive this 61 year old's shallow learning curve.
