Having announced last night that I had fixed the problem I now have to reply to one of my postings once again to announce that the problem is there - bigger and badder than ever... actually it's a different problem now... basically I can get the interface recognised but it's not receiving or transmitting anything as far as I can tell - basically the network segment it's serving is pretty dead as far as the clients are concerned. Following are some diagnostic type things that may help....
