Tim,
Thanks - this is what I was suspecting - I never thought about the mac
address issue, does anybody else have any ideas?

Does anybody actually use this feature? Or is it just another feature
that's possibly thrown in the lab for the sake of it? I'd never done it
before today but am impressed at how easy it was to use (apart from this
issue :-)). I guess on a big rollout it could save time.

Thanks for taking time to reply.

Mat.
