That would be great.  One thing that bothers me and have have not yet qustioned tech support about is this Internet Gateway that  automatically loads each time I log on to the internet. The thing that  I wonder about is  under a heading of Internet Gateway. It has 3 entrys. Status, Duration and Speed. The Speed shown is 10Mbps. When I see this I think that I have a bottleneck. Since I have a 10/100 NIC, why shouldn't it say 100MBps?.  Another section just below Internet Gateway is called, Activity. It shows a graphic of the earth, labled Internet, then a picture of the earth behind a monitor labeled, Internet Gateway. The last graphic is the WinXP "My Computer" Icon . All of these are "strung" together as if to show a path from "out there" to my computer.

Yeah welcome to the site I hope you enjoy and please tell your friends about TESTMY.NET......Man those are some really nice speeds for a home hook up........ I wonder if "tweaking" would make any difference???

If you have any suggestions, I'm all ears. I have not been everywhere on this forum. Can I find tweaking directions somewhere in here? Thanks for the welcome.

Also Welcome to the Forum

Thank you. There's a LOT of traffic on this web site.

Nice. If only it was in Phoenix. Have you tried any tweak Clarence

Only to the extent of my VERY limited knowledge. I've used various tweaking programs from the internet but I don't know if they have helped or hindered. I used a speed optimizer in System Mechanic and it changed my settings to what the tech support guy told me before I spoke to tech support. I am very open to suggestions.

WOW tahts fast, i wonder how long till it reaches Austin, TX

only thing i dont like about FIOS is that the website (under the FAQ...general)  says that you have to use the router provided by them which is free, but is a wired router.  and if u want a wireless, then you can upgrade for a fee...whats wrong with my current wireless router?!

I wish I could answer your question but I don't know. Since Verizon partnered with Microsoft, they also probably partnered with D-Link.
