SM 1.1.18 still runs (faster startup times etc.) mozturbo, SM2B2 doesn't! By setting up a program object for that in Startup folder with "-L" parameter and putting same with parameter "-U" to unload it in my XWP Shutdown Folder I can exit cleanly every time - if something on the www causes it to hang, it can be killed from the window-list without TOP/CADH via multiple CTRL-ESC! I can't recall having any problems with it in RC7 - but I'm just about to install RC7 on this T43, so I'll soon find out for sure! ;-) HTH Regards, Mike Hi Mike, Good luck with rc7! Stu Hi Stu, I ought not to be typing this now as this session started about 36+ hours ago, interrupted by a few hours of live motor racing in Surfer's Paradise yesterday and today - main event used to be an Indycar/CART event every year, but unfortunately is no longer - was supposed to be an A1 GP (all same vehicles, teams are representing different countries), but they failed to turn up in AU! :-( I tried three times installing RC7(A) on this T43, without success. Each time (freshly long-JFS-formatted), it hung in the installing TCP/IP applications secton of Phase 2. Trying the resume.cmd had so much missing that I gave up on it completely! :-( Decided to just put an additional RC6a installation on the system, but this time with the wireless enabled. Apart from the following everything went smooth as silk! I seem to have the application help files for WLAN missing - the program objects for the documentation are referring to files in the \var\temp\.....\....\ hierarchy which don't exist anywhere on the disk! I ran the GenMAC scan program and got the following: Generic MAC Wrapper Driver - Wireless LAN Scan Dev-Name : WRND322$ Nif-Name : W168CX1014.NIF Lan-Number : lan1 Link-Status : 0x4001000c Link-Status-CHG : 1 Mac-Address (AP): 000<hex-values-here for obvious reason> "linksys" P 0 Rssi -32 NetT 3 Channel 11 Infr 1 Rate B-1 B-2 B-5 B-11 22 6 9 12 18 24 36 48 54 Media-Connect : DISCONNECTED LinkSpeed : 108 MBit/s Infrastructure : 0x1 (INFRASTRUCTURE) Encryption : 0x1 (DISABLED) Authentication : 0x0 (OPEN) Privacy Filter : 0x0 (ACCEPT ALL) SSID : "" 802.1x Ready : 0 Press Ctrl-Break to abort So I guess I'm getting there (slowly!) Actually I also picked up anothr MAC address "Murphys" - I bet it's a Windows-using near neighbour (across the road in the village I live in - 30m away) name of Jim Murphy! Obviously his system (or he) didn't appreciate the scanning as it went off the air shortly afterwards! LAN is on adapters 0 and 1(lan0), WLAN is on adapters 2 and 3 (lan1).
