    AA> Anyway.. all seems to be good since I simply forced the PC to use   
    AA> a specific IP address and the gateway address.   
      
   Great!   
      
    AA> Now, I seem to have other problems of my own: my regular laptop   
    AA> is simply not starting up. No AC/power light at the laptop even   
    AA> when the AC adaptor is plugged in.  :(   
      
   Must be Winserver screwing everything up {chuckle} just kidding! Check the    
   output of the Laptop's AC adapter with a Voltmeter and replace if bad. If it    
   reads good then I would guess the laptop is at fault.   
      
   Luck with all that :)
