Thanks for the answer back, bob
I sat and did an examination of my logs for my modem and firewall.
Basically it is an XP issue, I don't lose connection on freenet but
any http or telnet traffic never leaves the modem because my provider
times me out. Funny though. They don't time out the dynamic address
but just the traffic. Funky DHCP setup ? Not that knowlegdeable
about hard network issues myself but enough to be dangerrous.
I know that I'm not owned and have dealt with spyware issues aplenty.
I keep a good watch over logs, Because I do get portscaned a couple of
time a day. Funny thing is that after I got the node up and going I
got probed even more. Go fig.
Thanks again for that write back
