Thanks for ENLIGHTENING ME why the Router LEDs blink.

I looked a bit today in XP Help & Support about XP netbios to Master
on it.

I need to take some more time to read more about it in H&S and maybe
on Wiki and hope to see how to set XP MCE to Master and set Vista Home

Thanks again for sharing this old stuff (to You) with me.
