669414 2008-05-14 09:51:00 Went to a friend's to install xtra wireless modem/router . (Interestingly, no info on the modem's admin screen userid/password or IP no . in kit . Also, no info on the xtra account userid format for the modem . Surely a cheat sheet should be in the kit??) . So, ping 10 . 1 . 1 . 1 and yes, there it is . Enter IP# into IE7 - won't find anything . Damn . Running Norton 360 - damn again . Not that clued up on Norton's innards but thought what else could be stopping IE7 from finding 10 . 1 . 1 . 1?

Eventually, in desperation, loaded FF . Hey, it worked first time . Nortons is absolved!

Anyway, tracked the IE7 problem to not having Java VM installed . The xtra install CD found it missing and installed it . Then it bombed out with some error or other before it got to prompting for userid and password!

Thank goodness hooking his laptop up via wireless went fine!
