Re: Mark IV data off by one day

Tom,
I would love to come by and help with your system, however it is a bit far
from here (Melbourne) to Chicago and also I don't claim to be a computer
expert!

I have however just set a wireless net work that works well and makes life
very easy, particularly downloading large files from the internet.I am using
a D-Link 11g router connected to the cable modem, with WiFi cards in each
remote computer. Each remote computer then has direct access to Internet.
This would certainly solve the timing issue, and might also help in other
areas.
