I agree with what you and Gordon have said. My statement was just an overly pedantic (I think there may be a claim of redundancy to be made about that paring of words) observation about network topology. I didn't mean to imply that the ISP should not be contacted or be responsible to helping to track down the source of the problem. -- Fedora Users List - The place to go to get others to do the work for you _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
