Steve you wrote "Networking setup is explained in plenty of places, including the setup instructions. There's no point in cluttering up the screen with that info." In my message I quoted the setup instructions and they do not explain anything that's the problem. So where are all these other places? Maybe if you had really looked at the handbook setup instruction you would see what I mean. If the setup instructions gave some background info they mite just be comprehendible by us lower life forms who do not have your ESP abilities.
