I think as Thomas stated it's a router problem, I've been looking at what the various routers are storing and not found a problem to date. I suspect that allocating random MAC addresses is the problem and I need to find out what I can allocate without causing problems. There must be some rules somewhere, I suspect the Arduino uses a block of addresses and I've duplicated something. David.
