Thanks for the link Dave, at least now I know what to do.

Unfortunately, things don't seem to work as described there when using windows 7.

When I right click on the linux.inf file and click "install" it says "The inf file you have chosen does not support this method of installation." And when I connect the BeBook there is no pop up box asking for the driver.

Any gurus got some ideas on that one?

Of course since the driver doesn't seem to have been installed there isn't any new network connection showing up so I can't put in the relevant TCP/IP stuff either.

Worst case scenario I can set up the virtual XP mode and do it all from there but that will be alot of hassle I think.

Anyways, any help by someone who has it all working under windows 7 would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
PKFFW
