I don't have Windows installed on the machine that houses FreeBSD (believe it or not, it is the only OS that won't install on this box, and this is after three hours on the phone with MS tech support). The Windows is 95 and runs on a Gateway Solo laptop. I'll go ahead and download one of the software tools you suggested and see what it tells me. Are there any questions, specific, that I can ask my ISP to find out the info I am going to hopefully gather from packet capturing? As an aside, is there a site that keeps track of which high speed access services work with OS's other then Windows? If there isn't, maybe it is something I could setup. I've seen many posts to this list about problems setting up connections and now I am in the same boat. It would be a great service to the users and free advertising for the company's whose products work with FreeBSD and others. Who knows, maybe they would pay a small stipend to advertise(banners?).
