Angelo.
Yes...I enter the router IP on the viewer which is on the laptop....But
Can't connect. I thought maybe that since the laptop is in effect behind
a
proxy as it is connecting through a wifi system, that the wifi system is
changing the laptop IP...This is so, but after we entered this new ip
into
the server, still no luck....have a sense that the problem rests with the
fact that the laptop is new...new version of windows xp, as I see some
writings about java not supplied by Microsoft but maybe needed???? Dont
know what this means but maybe a clue?? Bill
