Hi Todd,
Okay, gave your procedure a try (followed it to the letter), but still no
success...
With respect to your questions:
1) My PC only has one internet connection (on the motherboard)
2) Don't have Xbox ethernet bridge, but I am in Boston (row houses) so it is
not out of question that one of my neighbors has one (I can see at least 4 or
5 other wireless network from my house)
3) The number on my MCX starts with 2004.12
Any further suggestions....
As always thanks for your help
Harold
