RE: xAP framework based apps problem

Mark
Here is the result of a working machine - also a docked Dell Latitude.
Thank you for you all taking time to look at this. It is at least
reassuring that I am not the only one that is perplexed by this problem!

Disclaimer: I know rather less about .NET than Edward knows about IP

The "Class A / Class C" stuff is pretty much entirely a footnote
of
historical interest these days. The CIDR (classless inter-domain
routing) standard has been supported by the MS IP stack for a long time.

As such, broadcast addresses are just calculating by a binary operation
on the S/N and IP without worrying about what class of addresses the IP
in question came from.

Hence it's very unlikely that this would be the problem.

The one thing that may be an issue is the "Primary DNS suffix"
being
missing. I've just checked, and all my machines have one.

David - can you run "IPCONFIG /ALL" on a known working machine
too, so
we can see any differences?

Mark
