Good!  I'm pleased that you tried it and that it worked; it tells me
that I've messed up something or it **would** work. Sadly, I lack the
skills to figure out the knot so my solution would be the (unwelcome)
option of starting from scratch. (And my cablemodem speed has
plummeted in the last couple of days -- from >2Mb/sec to ~200kb/sec
download.) I'll have to decide whether it's worth it...

thanks,

craig
