      Hi All,

      The bug that I described was a "smart" bug, because the windows closed 
well. As I said, I have not restarted. Today I did, and once restarted, the 
setting has been taken into account and the network was functional. If it 
can help...

      Thank François and Tim. Cheers,
Patrick
