Yep - that was indeed a typo!

Once again, thanks to everyone for the help. I awarded myself a Darwin
Award for the Belkin router bit - although I still can't get to it via a
browser, it was actually working all the time - I had the lead to the
Voyager plugged in socket 4 - which also had a button for "Normal" and
"Uplink" (whatever that means) - guess which state the switch was in.
It worked just plugging three leads in.

Just for the record, BT said we are a bit far from the exchange for
2Mb speeds, but ok for 1Mb. Even with the Mem watching Celebrity Freak
Show, sorry, Big Brother, everything is much faster. Much as it goes
against the grain, I have to say the BT package has been a great success.

I think a switch rather that the Belkin router may be a good idea though,
pinging the Voyager unit showed some delay even with the one machine
attached, I gather that a switch is a little more intelligent about
sharing the connection.
