Have you done something as elementary as reporting this to your ISP? Sometimes it is not a local problem, though it seems to be. I have had the same problem and drove myself nutz working on my own computer trying to isolate the problem, only to ask for help from my ISP and having them tell me to give them a few hours or a day, and the problem is fixed on their end.
This may not do it, but it is worth a try. Mike > > > My computer is an XP 2.4 GHz with 512MB RAM.
