AskWoody LoungerThat sounds promising-hadn’t thought about the Netgear specs, found the instruction to use a crossover cable in the DLink Knowledgebase. Thanks.

AskWoody LoungerNetgear FVS-318 & D-Link DI-624.
I found a KnowledgeBase article on D-Link’s site that says I can do it by connecting the routers with a cross-over cable, LAN-to-LAN rather than LAN-to-WAN as I was trying. Then I need to disable DHCP on the wireless router so the clients will pick up the addresses from the firewall router.I intend to give that a try as soon as I get (or make) another crossover cable. It makes sense when I think about it-all I want is for this to be a wireless hub (aka access point). I probably would have gotten an access point if the store had had one-and if it had been reasonably priced.

AskWoody LoungerThe command line we use is:
“c:program filesws_ftpftp95pro.exe” local:X:MLXCATALOGREPORTDAILY.ZIP Anacomp:DAILY.ZIPCan’t remember right now how we set up the Anacomp profile-it’s not on my machine. I’ll look in a bit when I’m at the machine that has it.

AskWoody LoungerWhen I did it using WS_FTP I had to put the login & password in the site profile-then I could invoke FTP from the command line with the site profile & from/to file destinations as arguments.

AskWoody LoungerI’ll second that. And I have no problem remembering wrong passwords-now if I could only do as well with the right ones…

AskWoody LoungerMore often than not you do agree to let these companies install software on your PC-you just don’t know it. Some companies do it entirely without permission and in some places that is a crime. Most, however, ‘piggyback’ on some other software that you do agree to install. To discover what you’re agreeing to requires that you read the entire licensing agreement-carefully.
To use your analogy, it would be like hiring somebody to paint your house-but in the contract (fine print) it said ‘house & surrounding property’.
A number of years ago in the US the true interest rate on loans & credit purchases was often buried in the fine print. A law was passed requiring prominent disclosure & now the problem is less. I’m sure that the same thing will happen, eventually, with spyware/piggyback installations. I’m just impatient, I guess.

AskWoody LoungerAccording to slashdot it comes with new versions of IE & OE. They don’t mention the numbers but it’s got to be at least 6.1.
