"No flashing led lights on the handheld interface" - can you explain further as the T4 interface is certainly not a handheld device!

Many thanks for taking the time to reply - The first laptop I used was the original Dell (?). Brian advised I should set the IP etc manually, but confused as I believe when I install the RDS it says something about Network setting(?).
Sorry for my ignorance but I don't know what the various parts are called. Brian referred to a green led next to the LAN socket on the interface. The only part I can see which matches his description is the bay where the handheld device lives.
I get no flashing lights when I try to connect to a car, the T4 tells me there's a problem with the long cable, tells me to use the blue lead rather than the red one and finally gives me a telephone number to Omitec.
