well, it was a combination solution....first the beocom2 needed a software update, happily supplied by my local dealer here in Dublin, then it was a matter of unregisterig the Beocom5's from the beolink2 and then registering the Beocom 2 first to the Beolink2, then re-registering the Beocom5's back onto the Beolink2. its now working a dream, all phones fully functional with the added beauty of the Beocom2 in my living room sitting happily near my beoLab5'.
thanks for all your help guys, its much appreciated....
