Oh James ..... Your the man !!!!!
hahahahahahahaha

Id looked at a few howto's, and they were WAY over my head. It now
works. I feel like a dork. Something so simple can be the root of my
problem.

But "Thank you" for that. Im chuffed now Im a step closer.

Im probably trying to setup the same sort of thing as a few of you guys.
Ive got my own home LAN, where my partner and her mom use the
connection, wirelessly.
So Im looking at having *That* little extra security / spam filter /
anti virus / shared folders etc setup on my box. Ive also setup the
printer so they can all use it.

I dont trust my 73 yr old mother-in-law in the sense that she doesnt
know about what not to download etc. Ive tried to educate her in that
there are great / safe web sites out there, but there are also non safe
sites, and that clicking here, there and everywhere, and signing up for
this, that and the other, isnt always a good idea.

But this is great practice for me.
