I read somewhere that you didn't need to do the video adapter/paper clip 
trick on the 660AV, so I tried it without and everything booted up fine 
and worked for at least several hours before it stopped routing and 
accepting ping requests.  I wasn't sure if it was the lack of keyboard 
or lack of monitor that killed it.

I guess I can try the paper clip thing.  Do you recommend leaving the 
keyboard plugged in?

Thanks,

Patrick
