I rejoiced too soon!

You just won't believe it (or maybe you will).

But after I was able to get Mail and surf the WEB with the Laptop, I shut it
down, to go to a social meeting. A few hours later when I came back, the
laptop would NOT connect again. Also, the throughput, which was always
10Mbps, dropped to 2Mbps. Why?

But now I am really at a loss.

So would problem has overcome me now?

Regards

I finally succeeded!!!!

I searched again my laptop and somewhere there was still Norton System

Works
2002 installed. I had DISABLED it all the time, but apparently that was

not
enough.

I did now a total un-install of it and now Internet (which did work

before)
and now also E-mail work.


You really should make sure that you have at least the Antivirus

installed.

When using a router, you have to make sure that you are using the correct
subdomain.

Easiest way to find it is to connect one PC directly to cable modem, go to

a
DOS window and do an "IPCONFIG /renew" to get your IP information from

your
ISP, then do an "IPCONFIG /all" and look for "primary dns suffix", if it's
blank try looking for "connection specific suffix".... This should go into
the DOMAIN setting of your router (or if it isn't there, into the domain
settings in your TCP/IP properties on your computer)
