Success at last, some car dealer needed help with his ringing and putting in a paging card and I brought my computer down and did programming for him, he turned off a firewall I didn't know about, put an alias for the internet properties on the desktop and lo and behold, it WORKS!!!!
He got his stuff done, I got my laptop working and I got $50 for a PIOU card, everyone was thrilled.
Well THANK YOU Sundance for this marriage made in heaven.
