When connecting to this site has she tryed the ip address in place of the site name ? what is the freebsd setup? what subnet she running how many ip's? she using natd ? ...Your question here seems really vague. 14400 modem is rather slow on the busy times of the day ...The internet slows to a crawl sometimes...MS last week was slow with all the traffic for the new ie5. No offence but this is a very simple problem. You just telnet in and look around ...If she can not supply you with the info of her system. It sounds like she has came to you for help and trust you ...I am sure she would not mind you taking a look around ? Or bring the info here and I bet someone can help. On Fri, 26 Mar 1999, Daniel C.
