Yep! and I try to keep that from happening but sometimes I slip.

No Servers here, but I do my BBS connection with FTP using a Script
that is ran from a .BAT file.

VERY DIFFICULT to get on the internet when the ROUTER and DSL MODEM
can't talk to the net.

Then I'd have to call the Tech anyway, and I believe that Tech after he
finishes helping me will be laughing his socks off as he tells the
other techs about what I called in for help for.

Thanks for Your help!

I may have figured out how to keep this XP box getting the .100 IP
Address. see my previous message to Ben.

... But honestly, Officer, I *really haven't* "stolen" any taglines.
