Sorry if I came off harsh, but it must be fairly common to have exact same
systems with the exact same install, hooked up through a linksys router.
(Two of the systems are literally ideantical, with the exception of
installed new non network specific software.) The network was the first
thing we setup, and it had the same issue right off the bat.

it might be a common issue for linksys owners, but googling at trying to
follow web page assistance hasn't hlped at all.

Will do. I'll download browstat tonight, install it properly on all 3
systems, and grab all the details from it and reply with everything in one
post, to try to make it easier to troubleshoot.

I *do* appreciate the assistance Chuck, and don't want you to think I was
just flaming off my arse.
