Hi Mike,

Yes I only use the IP to login, when internet access is available i get 
the prompt for my username, and then fairly quickly it asks for the 
password.

When no internet access is available it asks for my username, and then 
hangs until it times out, and never asks for my password.

Thanks,
Daniel.
