Apologies for not trimming this post but felt that it was all
necessary.  I gave up with trying to set mine up after upgrading.  I'm
now completely re-installing 9.3 to see if things are detected from
the onset.  Of course the big problem being is that I have to have
this network connection working to be able to get the upgrades....I'm
now finally on broadband ADSL.  If I am unable to get sorted I will
give support a call.  I've got 90 days after all :-)))
