Re: [NTLK] Graphics to MacOS X serially? [was WiFi problems again]

Tony,

I gave up on DHCP server a couple of weeks ago. I was trying to
connect with SimpleMail at the time (I changed to Mail V on the advice
of someone in this list about a week ago).

Trying a setup with

Configuration: DHCP Server

the Connecting panel was displayed for over a minute and then
SimpleMail returned the error:

SimpleMail: Problem connecting. DHCP server unavailable or unable to
configure this device.

I still have an Internet Setup for DHCP Server, but similar error is
returned when I use it now with Mail V , so I do almost all testing
with a Manual configuration setup. I'd love to be able to use DHCP
Server, as it is looks so simple and I don't need to know all sorts of
weird codes and expressions, but I seem to get a bit further with the
Manual setup.

There really is a confusion of advice and suggestion, so what I'd like
to be able to do is to get this working and then make a page to
explain the setup for this particular configuration. Hard going, though!
