Ah. Cool. I haven't been to the site yet. But in typical fashion the problems are reported like "uh...email doesn't work" or "I can't load the Internet" and "We can't print anything". Maybe I'll get lucky and it's just some network infrastructure issue. We'll see.
Thanks again,
Cheers,
One WAMP package I used some time back had a limited automated self-test built in to the installation, so it displayed a list of working and non-working components, and since it was trying out underlying infrastructure as well, could give a good idea about what needed fixing.
Sounds like a similar package test for desktop systems would find many takers ! Could build it into a distro so that installer-admins could be told what was broken in technical terms.
