Since you obviously have problems unrelated to connectivity, and since your wife's machine appears to work via the DW6000, I agree that it is most likely your computer rather than something related to your new connection method.
That said, have you made any of the changes that are recommended on BroadBand Reports for machines being used with DirecWay? None of the changes, properly made, should result in the problems you report, but if something ELSE somehow got hosed in the process... Have you added any new hardware or software recently? (The DW6000 doesn't count; unlike with the DW4000 there is nothing installed on your computer for it.) Have you looked through the control panel for any indications of problems? Can you get a full boot into safe mode? Try clearing history, temporary internet files, cookies, etc. in case you have something stuck in there that is causing a problem. I assume you probably had/have an antivirus program with up to date signatures, but it wouldn't hurt to do an online scan as another check. There is a good one at: http://housecall.antivirus.com/housecall/start_corp.asp but several of the antivirus companies have them. Have you run programs such as AdAware or Spybot recently to insure you don't have an unwanted guest on your system? If you can't find anything else indicating your problem, you might consider doing a Systems Restore to a restore point before you started having problems. That should keep you busy for a while, and most likely someone else here will have some more ideas...

Yesterday I started having problems sending attachments via PMail. Now it's worse....I can't even send messages. I think my system is messed up because I'm having trouble booting up. Sometimes it won't completely boot up and the hour-glass is displayed forever. I have to "turn off" and re-boot again. Sometimes it boots up a little farther, but doesn't show the task bar at the bottom.....not even the START box. I have talked with my mail-server and they say it's on my end. Probably, but I can't even access my mail by going direct to the server via IE. I can get to their site, but when I click on "check mail" it says page can't be displayed. Right now my system is defragging although it didn't need it. I'm using my wife's computer to send this and it's a pain sending directly from my server's site. BTW, I "can" access my mail via her machine, so I know there is a problem with mine. One more thing: two days ago I switched from wireless microwave to DirecWay Satellite. I have no idea where to start. I've exhausted all the avenues I know to try. -- ---------------------------------------- To Change your email Address for this list, send the following message: CHANGE WIN-HOME your_old_address your_new_address to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note carefully that both old and new addresses are required.
