You can also run the wizard from Setup at the top of the Connections area. This will tell IE that your not dialing up. If you do that, as you go through, select the options concerning a Lan, as with DSL or Cable you are considered to be on a Lan. -------------------- ** We use our powers for good, not evil ** When the only tool you own is a hammer, every problem begins to resemble a nail.

Its been a couple of years since I had dialup and my addled brain doesn't go back that far. -------------------- ** We use our powers for good, not evil ** When the only tool you own is a hammer, every problem begins to resemble a nail.
