Please pardon my off topic, if there is another thread to which I should address this please let me know. Can anyone tell me the dos command to initiate a ping or tracer? A techie walked me through it, but I neglected to write it down properly. It worked great when he was on the line, showing me there server/router links along the way to the internet that were receiving bad packets. I went to MS dos prompt and entered <copy(?).tracert.com.number of the server of the program you want to trace>. I have tried several different combinations of the above, but no banana. Thank you for any help.

Dave, All: Now that I'm shopping for 100 Mbps networking stuff, I can't figure out what I'm looking at on all the internet vendors, EBAY et cetera. What are the basic specifications for a simple, home network? What cable specs? What connectors, hub, cards? Are the different brands interchangeable? I have DSL coming and have three computers, two big boxes and a notebook. Can I put the DSL at a central point near the phone entry into the house and hook up all 3 computers on a network? What I need to buy, guy? Thanks for the free consulting, you guys. Does anyone have a website where you pay a few dollars for some simple, individualized answers. You guys should set one up. Make millions, I say. Peter
