Glad the tweak worked for you. Just a word of advice - if you have a
Residential DSL account with FastAccess, I don't recommend running more
than one PC on the single connection; their Network Sysops run "network
sweeps" to check what IPs are being held by which hardware (MAC)
addresses; if they see more than one MAC address on a single IP, or
more than one IP from a single location, your account can be
temporarily disabled; but if more than 3 instances are logged, your
account is gone for good, and your DSL line provisioning taken off. If
your line qualifies, you can convert to a Small Business account for
$15 more per month, and have as many PCs on a single connection as you
like.

here to help,

miss kool :)
