    Hi Again Tomi,

    I know its bad show to follow up your own posting, but you can
    ignore my previous post - I have sorted the problem out, or
    rather Robert Jenkins (G8TBF/G0WTF) told me I needed an IP
    address on the interface, which I was not aware of.

    Thanks again Robert (and everyone else who responded)

    Iain
