i don't really have your setup, but i had strange problems with the icd1. this thing always lost connection to the target. looks like this was because of the wlan in my notebook. the icd seems to work well as long as there's no wlan around. tino -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
