Hi Berky,

You sure have given it a good go.

OK a few thoughts here to start with.

Your assigned IP address for the 640H is it in the allowed
IP range for the router.

Next go to your Windoze machine and

Start > Search > Computers or People > Computer on Network >
Computer Name (Azur?) - hit search and see if it finds it.
Sometimes you have to kick the process along ;-)

Next *IF* this still doesn't work try searching for the
Windoze computer on the network.  That is, see if it will
find itself.  This way it will check to see if the computer
name is the same as its network name.  Make sure it is the
same spelling and same case without any non-alphanumeric
characters.

Another thing to check is that you are running a TCIP
network so make sure any other protocol like NetBeui is
disabled.  I got caught here once before ;-)

Try these and get back if any more probs.

Cheers TT
