Thanks Nathan.
I uninstalled it and reinstalled it all but finally it worked...not sure what I did that was different from the first time but not withstandi g my netgear box going down I managed using my mobil phone hot spot.
So all good although it is rainy its ok as I really need an early night.
The irony may prove to be the fact that I think when I set up the mount it seems to be rather well aligned with no adjustment whatsoever...lat carried over from last trip and I guessed South using a few different stars.. hopefully I can now use the polemaster to confirm the alignment is perfect by accident
