Hi, New user Albion - you good people - Sarahlizz3 especially - have just saved me from beating my head against a monitor and taking a fire axe to a router. I'm working with a new Netgear DG834 router which actually has a 'disable SPI' function - but I think most people will confuse this with 'disable firewall' which is a different function in a different part of the set-up which seems to have no effect. Anyway, Sarah's fix worked a treat first time. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
