Also ensure that your router is not acting as a DNS server, and use the command prompt command "ipconfig /all" to verify that your computer is receiving an IP address from your router. (So keep DHCP enabled but disable DNS.) -- James McIllece, Microsoft Please do not send email directly to this alias. This is my online account name for newsgroup participation only.
