I think my problem was an old USB expansion hub. I got a new 4 port expansion hub ($4.95) and all hubs at the store were advertised to handle 480 Mbps. That speed may be only marketing hype but I cannot help but think that my old hub may well be slower. -- JohnW-Mpls _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
