Hi, thanks for your reply.

The 5100 Speedstrem Modem was supplied by SBC/Yahoo. I attempted to connect using the SBC/Tahoo supplied browser but when I went to http://www.portforward.com/efficient/5100-dhcp.htm and put in the appropriate #'s (copy & paste) it was a blank.

So I opened Windows Explorer... I never used it but signed up all and ditto ... went to portforward and used the same address but still came up blank.

As I check connections on my LM connections info is going out.

On a personal note, I learned how to "drive" on a Mac many years ago and loved it! Well, like standard vs. automatic, auto was cheaper in the long run and most feasible in the big world of business. Just bought a Sony laptop, *but* it sure ain't as fun. I salute you.
