Hiawatha [is it really your name],
Until Eric comes back with an answer to your last question, I suggest you go
back to Control Panel/Network Connections and setup a second connection
[call it Conn #2 Or ME, etc]. If I recall correctly, the last portions of
that setup will let you chose to use to either use/not use the Windows ICF.
If that succeeds, delete the first one after you are satisfied that it works
correctly.

The advanced tab will disappear if you choose to let Windows manage your network........ If you disable that feature and reboot, your advanced tab should come back. -- Eric Thompson ejthompson@email.uophx.edu ethompson1@mchsi.com "Hiawatha Bray" <watha@monitortan.com> wrote in message news:R8pDc.15462$aJ3.10937@nwrdny02.gnilink.net... Nope, I'm not running the Verizon software. I just put the user name and password into my router and left it at that. So I can't understand what happened to the Advanced tab. Is there perhaps a way of getting at the firewall through the Administrative Tools icon in the Control Panel? Thanks. "Kent W.
