   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.
