Hi all, I am on a dial up and when I connect to my ISP I almost always have to ping the server a bunch of times before the connection becomes viable. Someone I was talking to about the other day called it training. Can somone enlighten me on whats going on and how, if possible, can I remedy the situation. I am on a Win 2kPro system.
