So, as I understand it, you have a router and then a hub? Then, maybe that's the hub. That's what I wanted to mention in my message, but I started talking about my router and you might have thought I meant the router, but if both your Wallstreet and your G4 are connected to the hub with no other computer also connected to the hub, then it could be possible that the hub has a problem similar to what I was describing for my router. -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] buzzword-compliant: [also `buzzword-enabled'] Used (disparagingly) of products that seem to have been specified to incorporate all of this month's trendy technologies.
