I know you probably have already done this...but make sure the workgroups are the same on all 3 computers.

Did your cable modem come with a USB connection option or just cat5? Mine came with both and I found out that if I used the USB connection I had more consistent, and higher speeds on a regular basis. Just a thought.

Oh yes I just noticed something else that I know for a fact is giving you the request timed out error...when you go in the DOS you have to cd first thing to get to a plain on C prompt. It does this in XP when you have multiple accounts that you can log in to. Then after you get the plain C prompt type in tracert testmy.net>tracert.txt That should help ya some.

Just wondering if I am lucky to have the speed I have through them? I am rated 3000/256 Here are my results. Later.
