only a hobo knows..... issue resolved...... that was getting kinda annoying..... adjusted and changed just about everything trying to stop that.... well one good thing is i have fine tuned myself i think for the better now

and i did check and have 1.5 download speed and 256k upload.... called bellsouth to upgrade to 3 or 6 download but they say the lines here havent been upgraded in my part of the woods yet... thats kinda funny considering i live right on the mainline 8 blocks (baltimore city measure, i'm in alabama) from the main fibre optic lines for the state..... one day when i grow up it might work... lol

thanks for the memories....
