Hi, Sorry if this has been suggested already, I missed some of the earlier posts on this one. This sounds like what happens if I logon to my ISP and have the "Log on to network" option checked under Server types: click on Start, programs, Communications, Dial UP Networking right click on your connection, choose properties, then click on the Server Types tab. look towards the middle of the screen and you should see a box next to "Log on to network" make sure this is NOT checked. At least with mine, this does cause it to take forever to log on and is unnecessary. have fun David A.
