You have two other options You can also use your network card in a separate MS Windows box for the initial MAC address registration or You can install the simple text based web browser on your Leaf box. I did the first option which works fine. I haven't tried the second option. enter your account PID and password, login and click the add button. type a name in for your router ( any thing does not matter ( letters, numbers, - and _ only )) when you have done this either restart your network interface's or restart windows when you have done all that then you can start configuring your router to do what ever you want! if any one has any queries email me and just ask antken I am thinking of writing a long document explaining how to use Leaf with NTL broadband but don't know how to distribute it to those potential Leaf users. ANy ideas on that?

I don't understand why any of these options are required. Why not accept the ip address you are given as a router, and use your usual box behind it to talk to the webserver to do the configuration, and then re-initialize networking on the router? Does the configuration process use java or javascript? --- Jeff NewmillerThe . . Go Live... DCN:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Basics: ##.#. ##.#. Live Go... Live: OO#.. Dead: OO#..
