Kevin, The fact that you have to reboot your machine seems to indicate a problem with your Win9x setup. THe TCP/IP stack in 98 isn't the greatest but it's better than 95's... which are you using? Steve

Kevin, find out the brand of network card and cable modem you have and seek the usenets for comments etc. Some cable systems do have you throttled to about 128K MAX and you may be able to break that throttle and get more speed. If they simply have a legion of subscribers on that one line it may just be the shared bandwidth that bedevils you. the early win95 had some kind of flaw(memory leak??) that made them slower and slower as time went by. There is even a cable modem ip reset program(that I have, but I have no cable to use it on, yet) that allows some kind of chicanery to be done, but I do not know what. I took it from a warez site one fine day in the middle of the night and it now fills a meg or so of HD space. Bill Bill
