It's a hidden option you add to the config file. There's no pretty
MUIfied button for you to press. I think this came up as a Guru question
some time ago.

you've done tech support. You know you always check the obvious things,
even if the l^Huser tells you they're not dumb :)

But it works with my similar setup. Let's take a squint at the config
file... aha

IsOnlineCheck = N

That's probably what you want. I've no idea when it found its way into
my YAM config.

Ack! I've just checked the config on the bootable Zip I installed YAM on
for the AA23 review, it's set to Y there, but it still worked.

Cheers
