I agree! But I don't think the US Government thinks for one second that a terrorist gang pulled this one off by themselves. It was too co-ordinated, too organized. There was some serious money, and intel behind this. Don't be surprised to find out that some radical government was behind it. Either that, or I better cut WAY back on those Tom Clancy novels! By the way, I'm not comparing this to college football. Your Government WILL make the right decision, Matt. But, unless they come down hard on these jerks, it could happen again (God Forbid!). I happen to like Americans, and I wouldn't wish this on them or any other country either. But the best way to prevent repetition is to Drop The Hammer the first time. Obviously I mean dropping it only on those actually responsible. The US people have never been happy about Collateral Damage - of that I'm sure, and this time will be no different. But if I remember my history right (correct me if I'm wrong), one of the Japanese admirals commanding the attack on Pearl Harbor said it better than most. Something like - I believe we have awakened a sleeping monster . They had just finished their attack, and he was already thinking about changing his diapers! I think these terrorists should be feeling the same way right about now. I don't think they thought this attack through well enough to ponder the response that will surely follow.

If all else fails give the machine an ip address and tell it were the router is that hopefully should work... I've had really screwy problems with individual machines.
