Well the readme that is on the NTS CD (in the linux directory specifically
says to
initialize the ethernet device to the ip address 0.0.0.0. I have a feeling
that this has
got to mess with the broadcast in some way...

I'll try it. I think that would make sense. Is 10.0.0.1 an in-use address
on the internet?

I would also like to get my hands on v1.3 of the NTS client. Any word on
how to get it
or do I have to call for a serviceman to bring it to my door (They do that
for me????)

Many thanks,
Dave
