Art, The D-Link driver (1.2.0.4) date on my computer was 7 March 2003. I know that is nearly 18 months old but as I indicated before, Windows could find no newer update after searching the net. Will let you know tomorrow what has happened re connection. Your comments re SP2 are duly noted -many thanks.
