It could have been set to a static IP by my tech guy there alltough I do not remember that to have been a subject of conversation. Mind you - I'm over 40 so I don't remember all conversations from the past very well ;-)

Thanks again!
I'll try that some time tonite.
Unfortunatly, my old win 7 pc is no longer with us ...
YES!
That did it!
I'm a little impressed with my self managing to navigate the router admin through such a task :-)
And I'm very impressed with you, sir - that managed to fault find with so few and (apparantly) simple steps!!
Thanks a billion!
My next quest is to get the old NAS talking to my new Sonos - but I'm not going to bother you with those nitty gritty details :-)
Have a great day - and thanks again!
