Umm. OK. So would it then be better to assume you *did* do everything correctly (or someone else asking for help, for that matter), then give you all sorts of incomprehensible suggestions that don't work because they made the wrong assumption? How does anyone know what yu (or anyone else) has or hasn't done unless you (or whoever) tells us? I actually had a call in a previous life as a tech support droid for a regional ISP, where I was actually asked if one had to plug the computer into the wall for it to work. Yes, it was a desktop computer. I of course assumed that the computer *was* plugged into the wall outlet and was receiving power. Is this an extreme example? Of course it is, and anyone who would tell you it isn't is either joking or stupid, but the point is that we over here have no idea what you're doing over there, so getting upset that people are making assumptions about what you're not doing (or rather, suggesting that something might be a problem) only have what they're told from the outset to go on. And going on the assumption that your computer is set up exactly like my computer is a bad assumption and potentially very, very unhelpful. At this point, all we have is your insistence that you know what you're doing, but few details on how a particular problem you're having can be reproduced. Again referencing my previous life, you wouldn't believe the number of "computer consultants" who called me for help (who claimed to be getting paid hundreds of dollars an hour) that had the most ungodly simple things misconfigured...but they knew what they were doing, too. So before you get all defensive, why not help the people who are here to help you instead? -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV - Erie, PA Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or phone 888-75-BUDDY I'm giving you a free mall.
