Hello, hopefully someone here can help me with this, once connected to the web and I start running netscape or any mail or nntp program it works great for about the first 1-2 minutes and then it stops downloading or uploading completely (stalled) and I have to reload the browser or most of the time disconnect and reconnect to the isp, it may take 10 minutes to view 3-4 different web pages but again, it works fine at first and then comes to a screaching halt. Thanking all for your support, most of my questions have been answered just by reading the scripts... I'm running 7.0 (air) , speed, memory and storage are not a factor with this box. Thanks, Jeff
