| 564804 | 2007-07-01 10:08:00 | Did you burn the ISO as an "image" type file using your DVD burning software? If it was burnt correctly, you will see various files and folders on the DVD when viewed with Windows Explorer. If burnt incorrectly there will just be the single ISO file visible on the disk. Welcome to PressF1 as well. :) |

| 564806 | 2007-07-01 10:14:00 | What program (and version) are you using to burn the DVD? | Jen (38) | ||
| 564807 | 2007-07-01 10:23:00 | I would assume you used the native CD-burning method by way of dragging the image to your CD/DVD-writer drive? Well if I'm right (I'm probably wrong) then a quick help app in this situation is IsoRecorder (isorecorder.alexfeinman.com). Just download the relevant version depending on your OS, follow the directions on the website and you should be right. | sal (67) | ||
| 564808 | 2007-07-03 12:28:00 | Nero can also do it if you select "burn an image" from one of the menus (I think it's the file menu - I don't have Nero on this PC) | Faded_Mantis (79) | ||

I have copied from ipconfig the details to the options in eth0 and also tried eth1 to no avail. My modem supplied by Telstra is Motorala Surfboard SB5100 USB Cable Modem I have been informed that I should use the ethernet port.(Lan ?) Any one help me here is it just a matter of replacing the usb cable with an ethernet cable? I have tried looking for tech info on the modem but no luck. Regards gramps |
