Hi Nicolas
Fine, adding netbios helped. Now I can get into contact with my board,  
running a corresponding program on my PC that uses the NETBIOSNAME to  
connect. However, Zyxel still does not know the name of my board - which  
obiously allows my Win-XP program to connect with my board. Has anybody a  
hint what is missing?
