Ace, I sure do appreciate all the time and effort you are spending to solve
this problem.
Here are the responses to your suggested tests:
> Run these tests:
>
> ping www.yahoo.com
> (post the results please)
C:\Documents and Settings\Bill>ping www.yahoo.com
Unknown host www.yahoo.com.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ace, that didn't look good, so I tried putting a space between ..\Bill> and
the ping command and got:
C:\Documents and Settings\Bill> ping www.yahoo.com
Pinging www.yahoo.akadns.net [68.142.226.32] with 32 bytes of data:

I wasn't sure whether to type nslookup into my browser window or into a
command prompt. So I did both.
Typing nslookup into my browser window produced a page, at url:
http://search.msn.com/preview.aspx?&q=nslookup
......of six websites. Not what you said I should expect.
Then I typed nslookup into a command prompt, and got:
C:\Documents and Settings\Bill>nslookup
Default Server: ns2.attbi.com
Address: 216.148.227.68
Still not what you said I should expect.

Ace, I don't understand what you want me to do.....I don't know where you
want me to type this into.
I typed www.macromedia.com into a command prompt and got a reply that it was
not recognized as a command, program or batch file.
Then I typed it into my browser window and got the macromedia home page.
But that page didn't contain any of the irems you said to look for.
What did I do wrong?
