Hello Scott , forgive this sounding stupid - but firstly are you sure 60s is
the maximum setting you can achieve? If not extend this , I had a similar
problem and extra time certainly helped! Secondly , have you got all file
entries correct? i.e. /etc/resolv/conf and so on. These are only suggestions
, I hope they help - if not I am sure others will be giving ideas on this
list. Good Luck -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
p.s. Let everyone know when you get a solution please , it may help others
(including me!) at some point.
