Thank you for your reply,
I have just tested this line of code delay(1000); by commenting it out in the sketch, and the networking still does not start.
I do not think the delay is causing the problem.
I originally had a 60 second delay which stopped everything, and many of the networking faqs say a delay will shut everything down compleatly so I removed it. I did consider this short delay as a problem but didnt think it would be a problem (hoped it would not)
There is something else in there
