Seriously Tim me even thinking about trying Linux would be suicidal, I
am prety much out of my depth with this already.

Hmm, the thing is, I'd say it would probably be easier (assuming
everything worked as it should) for you to 'use Linux as a test tool'
(you wouldn't be 'trying Linux' as such) than it would for you to
fault find this situation in a logical / professional manner. It
really is just a matter of a few mouse clicks so if not now, I'd still
recommend you doing it (or getting someone to do it for you) for the
test tool it will then give you. You might even appreciate it as an OS
for basic Web browsing etc. ;-)

As yet I have not tried using a friends wi-fi as I have been away for a
couple of weeks I can hopefully get a neighbour to try for me.

Ok. Let us know how you get on.
