Mike, I have a similar configuration to yours: RR cable modem, SMC Baracade, FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE and Mozilla. I just called up WWW.CNN.COM and the first page came up in just a couple of seconds. From your description, the only possible differences are: I'm running 4.7-STABLE and Mozilla 1.1 For whatever use you can make of this input... Cheers...
