Hello Bob,

Thank you for your suggestion. I have now booted with the radio enabled 
and the wire disconnected. I have even run a CMD file sent me by Julian. 
That file for shifting from wired to wireless has worked well in the 
past. Still, the DHCP client would not run.

I did attempt to connect via wireless to my router using a fixed IP 
address. That effort was successful. I was able to connect to the 
router's control web page.

Thank you for your help.
