Hi VanBerk, I seem to have lost my first reply to your response, so here goes again. Here is the test result: http://ttester.broadbandreports.com/tweak/block:30e899e?service=cable&speed=3000&os=winXP&via=normal RE the tracert, I am not able to copy in the cmd screen. the copy button is unavailable, even after using select all ???? What could I be doing wrong??????? Sorry to be so helpless. Appreciate your efforts.
