Yes, that was the problem (although my wife and I could have sworn
that I hit non-netinfo network).  And thanks for the response.

I'd also like to thank two other people, they know who they are, I'm
not sure broadcasting their addresses is a wise idea (I never received
explicit mail from them saying I can do so and I wouldn't want them
having to fend off tons of other people seeking advice).
