I checked and I already had those options turned off. Now what?

Dunno. Works for me. I will note I run with the firewall off. Suggest
you try running with the firewall off and see if you still have your
problem.

Cheers,

Darrell

My firewall is on; I will try this the next time my cable
connection goes down (the desktop doesn't have a dialup modem, so I
have to use the portable which does).

Switching off the firewall to test for short periods is risk free as
there are no known TCP/IP attack vectors for Macs.

I run with the firewall down all the time because I am always
installing new stuff and I got tired of troubleshooting down to finding
the firewall was the problem.

The reason I have confidence in running with no firewall is I run
tripwire http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripwire_%28software%29 on my Mac
and run an old Mac as a packet sniffer on the lan in addition to
reading various security news sources.

Cheers,

Darrell
