So that's all I can help you with, if you figure it out all properly let me know. I've spent mega-hours on the forums looking for good solutions to the comments below: The problem I have is that I'm not that knowledable computer wise and I run my laptop on dhcp during the daytime at work and then as I don't know what I'm really doing I have to manually change the config files at home and the resolv.conf which is a pain. I've tried following the wiki entries re net-profiles etc to no avail. So I'll add my voice to yours and request that anyone who does understand this write a better wiki article on how to combine usb-key broadband + wired broadband automatically. Regards Richard I
