After a frustrating battle with D-Link's foreign based support people it was finally determined that the unit was in fact faulty and then, after being asked to call no fewer than 4 different phone numbers, 50++ minutes on the phone and 2 dropped calls later, they suggested I return it to...(wait for it)... the original point of purchase. (DOH!) Just as I was about to throw the camera in blender and send them the pieces, I remembered that this particular part of my Amazon order had been fulfilled BY Amazon itself. Needless to say, within minutes my account had been reimbursed, a new one in now on its way and I am printing a freight-paid bill of lading as I type this.
Anyway, thanks FurryNutz. I'd give you a big hug, but the visual is making me a little nauseous.
