Thanks again Robert. Hope a router will fix this issue, it s is highly
irritating that somethimes it takes an hours to get a connection....I read
something about routers that have ISP and that should be disabled?? Forgive
me if this does not make sense, but I have very little knowledge of networks
and less of routers;-) Will a vista ready router be the best idea?
Thanks!!
