It acted like I had no internet connection at all. The lights on my modem didn't even blink nor did the router.

I always open it as root since that is where I do emerges and such as that. I also edit some files in /etc using it too. It is inside the regular GUI login tho. My point was, it was using root permissions to run ping and such when I tested it. Just in case it could be a permissions thing.

It could be old school usb1. My mouse and keyboard is PS/2 tho. One additional note. It has ran all day with no problems that I have seen. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
