Hope that confirms your expectations.

Spot on. AAH has now posted details from winipcfg and this shows that the
NIC has been allocated an IP address and shows the hub (192.168.1.254) as
the Gateway, DHCP and DNS addresses. You may need to chip in now as I
wonder if there is a Home Hub setting that is blocking access despite the
hub allocating the Win Me PC an IP address.

And mine whistles "Dixie" on the 3rd Wednesday of the month. D**n
clever these BT HomeHubs.

Very clever. I wonder what I need to do to get my Netgear DG200N to play
Land of Hope & Glory g. Perhaps I need to play. Not sure though about it
doing it only on the 3rd Wednesday of the month. I'll need to think more
about that! vbg

Sorry Mike - but couldn't resist.

But seriously, can't give like-for-like from my WinMe settings as it
doesn't have a LAN socket. It's working WiFi using a usb stick and my
HomeHub is version 1.0

FWIW - Winipcfg is as

Adapter Info. Gigaset USB Stick 108
Adapter Address 00 23 XX etc.
IP Address 192.168.1.89
Sub Mask 255.255.255.0
DGateway 192.168.1.254

and the HomeHub confirms the IP Address and shows the Me box as
'Active'. The .89 matching the WinMe box IP Address as opposed to
other active or non-active devices.

Hope that confirms your expectations.
