OK. Very interesting. You hit on something with that post. I turned
off WEP and DHCP worked. So I can have WEP. I can have DHCP. But I
can't have WEP and DHCP together.

Whether the fact that DHCP and WEP don't work together is a bug or
crippling we'll have to wait to find out until my registration number
arrives (I just got the card this week).

The home page for the driver is confusing in this respect stating
"During trial period, all features are available" and "WEP key This
feature is available for registered users only".

Many thanks for your help.

Darrell
