Re: Internet connection problem

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! You gave me the tools to figure out the
problem. I pointed Filemon to rasphone.pbk and it repetedly pointed
to a program called "ggviewer". A system file search showed that
program was associated with the Google desktop search tool in the task
bar. A lightbulb went off in my head. I opened the options to the
Google search tool and set it up with the same configuration as the
other (non-problem) computer accounts. No more uncontrolled internet
connection at logon! I had forgotten to configure settings on that
one program when creating the new account. I've been working on this
problem off and on for days! Thanks for taking the time to point me
to those great system tools.
