Hey,

Managed to get it working perfectly! Don't know why it was acting up,
but everything works now and I got NTP synching ok and I can change my
password.

There's just one thing tho.. I'm actually in Australia and using the
9258T model, instead of the local "S" model, which was considerably
dearer.
Now that's not the problem since the "T" model covers our voltage
spectrum.. problem is when I connect a power adapter to change US-AUS,
I can't use the second outlet since the adapter sticks out so much.
Basically I will only be able to use the first and last outlet.

Either I buy the "S" model or I find a small enough adapter (outlet is
about 1 inch with 1cm space in between?)

Appliances in US must have really small plugs? :)

Or.. another method that _might_ work.. get A US-IEC320 power cord and
connect an IEC-AUS power adapter/cord to that.

Just putting it out there in case anyone knows..

Cheers
