The one I'm normally on with my cookie is in fact the Royston machine.

Well, now everything can see the whole network (I haven't really started on the 95 machine, Dominic, yet) - it was the network via the mains that was doing it, almost certainly because I had extension leads in it. At present only the Jeff computer is on the mains network stuff.

But the Sadj computer still won't go onto the internet. I just put a new floppy drive in that and the floppy now reads. What odds I find a broken rubber band when I open up the old one! But it won't cure the internet access. It's almost bound to be some sort of access permission that's been set somewhere...

Next step is to get the Rachel machine to read its floppy too so I can format C and really clean it out - for some daft reason teh restore disk that came with it does an over the top install and doesn't really format C and until I get the floppy reading I can't use a boot disk.
