Connection problems
 

My problem was resolved by my ISP. It turns out something was screwey with my line - I could connect but would get many "mini-disconnects" where I would stay online but any searches were interrupted. It made me crazy! It took a long time but it was a problem with the subcontractor who carries my DSL line. My modem tested fine - everything seemed OK but I kept getting disconnected. Good luck to others. Michael

Well Excuuuse me - I didn't know this forum was for experts. I was under the impression it was for people to ask questions and being a lowly beginner I was having a hard time. I promise not to trouble your vastly superior mind again. OK, I have vented....sorry for sounding like a child but I couldn't help myself. :rolleyes:
