Hey Jim. I'm going to cheat!! But given that you're retired, you might have a bit of time. Is there a "big box" (staples/bestbuy/radioshack/etc...) close by. If there is, go get a cheap/different router (wired/wireless) and test to see if this box gives you the same behaviour. To be honest, never run into this kind of issue, but given murphy, I know that sometime in my future I will! Let us know. thanks On Fri, Jan 23, 2015 at 10:25 PM, Jim Lewis <jim@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> On 01/24/15 09:59, bruce wrote: >>> Just sort of following the thread. >>> >>> Does this same behaviour happen if you have a separate box running a >>> different distro?
