    Thanks Jerry,
    Tried it and still didn't take. I suppose it's because I have a modem
    setup on the machine, I am not sure why it always resorts back to
    dialup. Either network=direct (for cable modem or dsl) should work or
    the network=lan should work and it actually does, in a manner of
    speaking. It will use the direct connection to do it's checking, when
    you ask it too, but it won't do the automatic checking because you are
    not connected via a modem (dialup).

    Maybe some clarification on the program will show up sometime in the
    future. For now, I'll do it the old fashion way and start the YOU up
    manually.
