For my own part, I have never had a thought which I could not set down
in words with even more distinctness than that with which I conceived
it. There is, however, a class of fancies of exquisite delicacy which
are not thoughts, and to which as yet I have found it absolutely
impossible to adapt to language. These fancies arise in the soul, alas
how rarely. Only at epochs of most intense tranquillity, when the
bodily and mental health are in perfection. And at those weird points
of time, where the confines of the waking world blend with the world of
dreams. And so I captured this fancy, where all that we see, or seem,
is but a dream within a dream.

| a) on power up and loading XP Pro on the laptop, the wireless card
| (which is set to get ip address from DHCP) deafults to a errro
| condition set IP address. When I do a repair on the card, I get the
| message "DHCP Failure". b) if I then connect a cable between laptop
| and router, and enable the ethernet port, DHCP allocates the ethernet
| port the correct address.
| c) if then I do a repair on the wireless card, DHCP works OK and all
| is well.
| d) I then disconnect the cable between laptop and router, and load
| IE6, and it gets settings sorted and I am wireless fully again, both
| LAN and Internet through router gateway.
|
| I have downloaded the latest driver from the £Com site, and have
| checked all the known problems with the wireless PC card, without
| avail.
|
| So, I start to suspect XP rather than the card.
|
| Anyone with any ideas - please let me know...at leats I have a
| bypass, using the cable to sort of get me started...but its not ideal.

For my own part, I have never had a thought which I could not set down
in words with even more distinctness than that with which I conceived
it. There is, however, a class of fancies of exquisite delicacy which
are not thoughts, and to which as yet I have found it absolutely
impossible to adapt to language. These fancies arise in the soul, alas
how rarely. Only at epochs of most intense tranquillity, when the
bodily and mental health are in perfection. And at those weird points
of time, where the confines of the waking world blend with the world of
dreams. And so I captured this fancy, where all that we see, or seem,
is but a dream within a dream.
