Mike, I figured I might have to call Earthlink. I put in my IP addy default gateway and all. The only thing i didn't know was my host and domain names. Thanks for the advice. I got a Netgear router. My favorite site is
www.edealinfo.com I got the router and wireles card for the laptop for free. Actually, after rebates and all I MADE 5 bucks on the deal. edealinfo is a great site
Thanks again
