    Yea, today's visit will entail the use of fport, I also didn't have a chance to do any reboots yesterday after cleanups -- running all this via VNC (TX to CA) -- I know that'll hinder my efforts. I think I'll also install FireFox to get around any IE poisonings...

    Total re-install. Yes, I agree; however, it'll hard to do via VNC! ( I know, I didn't mention that before... )

    Thanks for the info on the e-link settings, I won't be so timit now, messing with the configs.

    You asked how Earthlink works. I am not sure totally sure but I found something that might give you an idea or at least set you on the path.

    EarthLink Wireless High Speed provides access to its customers using Wi-Fi public networks. Instead of deploying its own network infrastructure, EarthLink Wireless High Speed purchases from Wi-Fi hot spot operators on a wholesale basis, integrates these networks together and sells a single service to its customers.

    EarthLink Wireless High Speed has the easiest-to-use wireless broadband footprint in the world. Instead of building Wi-Fi networks, EarthLink Wireless High Speed focuses on the complex integration of hundreds of APs around the world into a single service. EarthLink Wireless High Speed markets to, supports and bills the end user.

    This could very possibly be the reason why you have such a funky configuration.

    I agree with the rest when they say do a total reinstall.

    Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255

    I may be tired or old, but what kind of subnet mask is that...............

    Doesn't leave much room for users, but there is a SHED load of networks available............
