Hi, Mark-- I work for a Broadband (cable) ISP. Although I'm not at liberty to say which one, it sounds as if you use a different provider. With ours, passwords are a little on the quirky side. Although not that critical with most features/servers, it's definitely recommended to have a minimum 8-place pw with ours. Speaking of passwords, it would not hurt for you to change your password. Although this may not be the issue, it couldn't hurt. Also, we do not use a proxy, hence NO boxes in the proxy area should be checked. If your provider DOES use a proxy, however, make sure you use it, of course. On proxies, I've noted that there can be problems with duplication of checked boxes. For example, if you have "Use Automatic Configuration Script" checked, you might not want to also have "Use a Proxy Server" checked. Good luck with this, Mark! Phil
