Just in case people didn't already know XP is a piece of cr*p.

Robert, I did what you suggested and guess what it worked perfectly. It 
is obviously bad design that XP doesn't take notice of the registry 
change until the networking components are re-installed.

BTW Why the minux QOS? The machine that I did today hasn't got the QOS 
but the machine that I did yesterday has it and they both seem fine.
