Just to confuse me even more :-)  booting up this morning brought me the 
dialogue to enter my WPA key, which was refused three times before appearing 
to be accepted.  However, on completion, the taskbar icon showed that I have a 
wired connection, so I ran ifconfig.

To my surprise I saw no eth0, but eth1 has what is clearly a dhcp address 
(although it says there were ~48 million packets dropped!) so that looks as 
though the wireless connection is working and the wired connection not 
working.

Could you also please remind me which file I need to edit to disable IPV6?

Thanks

Anne
