Yes, the web is a network and all your network traffic flows through
your network adapter, without it you will not be able to get on the web.

So what happens if you keep all your Norton stuff turned off and
enable the adapter?

Also make sure that power saving is not enabled on the adapter. Right
click on the network adapter and select "Properties" then click on the
"Configure" button for the adapter then click on the "Power
Management" tab and make sure that the "Allow the computer to turn off
this device to save power" is *not* selected.

In retrospect on this project, John, now that it's just about finished,
I hope we all learned something from it, including people who have
been watching silently.

I've thought about your early comments that there are a few dozen
'services' that are active but will never be used, and wondered if
it would speed things up to disable them. I could start with one
of the lists you created, but I'm more inclined to say we now have
it where it ain't broke, so I shouldn't fix it.

And just once mo Thank you for all your efforts.


You're welcome, Bill.

John
