Rob, Since you did not go into detail as far what kind of connection problem your friend is having (no sync, sync at the modem but no traffic), I can only guess at what the problem might be: 1) No Sync - This could be one of two things a) a problem with the DSL circuit itself or b) possible wiring problems within the home. 2) Sync but no traffic - This would be an indication of a TCP/IP configuration problem. Do they have a static IP address or do they use DHCP? (BTW, does BellSouth still require you to connect using PPoE? If so, is PPoE set up correctly in the Network settings?) Sorry for all the questions, but the more information we have, the better chance of a solution. ************************************************************************** Tony Shelburne IgLou Internet Services Senior Technical Support/Macintosh Support Louisville, Kentucky USA Voice: (502) 966-3848/(800) 436-4456 Email: tonys at iglou.com ICQ# 11640744 ************************************************************************** Scientists have shown that the moon is moving away at a tiny yet measurable distance from the earth every year. If you do the math, you can calculate that 85 million years ago the moon was orbiting the earth at a distance of about 35 feet from the earth's surface. This would explain the death of the dinosaurs. The tallest ones, anyway. The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will be June 25. For more information, see <http://www.aye.net/~lcs>.
