Thanks Ray, I'll probably start with the network card and cable.

The cable modem would be the last thing I replace as it's working fine
with the USB connection and it's a pain in the butt submitting a new
Mac# to Suscom. The last time it took over a week and finally I drove
downtown and insisted they change it while I waited.

R.C.I. at it's best.

I checked the bandwith and that seems to be the same as before, so I
might be a cheap SOB and leave it be:-)
