       Malwarebytes run on all 3 computers.   Nothing found.

After Steve Jobs "problem" with the new IPhone and wireless 
connection yesterday or today, I tried what he requested the audience 
to do.   Shut down their wireless gadgets.

I turned off two of the computers and the non-connecting computer 
connected.   Tried with all 3 and each could connect 
individually.   So, now I'm running only 2 computers at a time and am 
able to make connection.    Must have to do with the router/dsl and 
amount of data.   Someone told me that sometimes a wireless router 
gets confused as to what to do.  Don't know if this is right or 
not.  But, so far, the problem is solved.

Thanks
