Yep, it turned out that the cable modem is outdated. Cox is replaced it with a newer one. We'll see if that fixes the problem. Thanks for your input, Claus BTW, were having a garage sale tomorrow. Included are a 21" monitor, two 19" monitor, and one something smaller monitor. A PCI graphics card and a TV card. http://ames.craigslist.org/gms/333448894.html
