RW>>When I do a ping to some of these sites (www.weather.com is one that

www.weather.com is up and down like night and day. The site was hit very hard 
yesterday while those of us in this neck of the woods were getting dumped on. 
 I would not use www.weather.com as a good benchmark on how my system is 
working on the internet. Too many times I find the site unreachable, even by 
Windows 95.
