[pchelpers] Re: Internet problem with XPPro

Thanks.  I will look at this Monday, but I am doubtful because these were
two new machines, AND it was working fine on the machines we replaced, and
it works fine on my personal XPPro at my office. What would 'make the
change' on the new machine?  The Server is Win2000 and it went right into
the proper page.  One further note.....they are running a DSL modem with
straight access through the router (not through the Server).

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
