I have to try the direct connection sometime when I have a clear head, maybe tomorrow since my Isp's dhcp server is a little bit flaky, it takes some persuasion to assign an ip. When I installed slackware I chose prompted install but didn't change any of the packages being installed, I just went with the defaults. Explorer has caused a general protection fault in module kernel32.dll. I'm sick of Winblows! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adam Myrow" <amyrow@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Thursday, October 10, 2002 8:22 PM Subject: Re: more network problems > Have you tried a direct connection to your cable modem yet?
