Yes, well, I think that that is expected and normal: the translator that deals with the net is a passice one, i.e. stays dorment until awaken for a firts time... that's why it takes longer in first connection (after that one it always works immediatly). Please note that the technical explanation is prolly different in words and correctness of terms, but this is pretty much how it goes. yours, fsm -- Frederico S.
