Have you? Unplugged/turned off the modem for at least one full minute? removed the router from the connection? How many computers are running through the router? Is the firewall a part of the router or modem? have you checked the firewall? turned off the firewall? removed/readded the network card? Are all the computers having trouble? have you removed each computer one by one? Is your gaming system also the server system for your network? Are you even using a network? If not, why the router? More questions but that is a start. -- McWhom -----------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, I have unplugged the router and modem several times for a minute each. Only 2 computers running through the router, I have now even took the router out. the network card is built into the mother board. So, I am thinking somethings gone wrong there, think i'll buy a new pci NIC and disable the onboard one and see what happens. Thanks "mcwhom" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
