I can only wish, no I just grabbed that one. When I first set up my computer with cox, dhcp gave me that address, and it hasn't changed yet. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to get a netmask to match a specific IP address --- yet. But I will one day, have to do a lot of reading. Craig said to reset the cable modem --- I did and it worked like a charm, I always do the hard stuff firdt, instead of the other way around, maybe there is hope for me yet. Thanks for all the help.
