 Saddly I don't see an external ip address.

 I just enabled the DMZ option for this machine and still nada. (do I
 need to reboot?).

 I'm running win ME. I don't think a firrewall is running. It doesn't
 Show up in the TaskManager.

 *I* ever turned it on...


 BTW, thanks for your time with this problem, hopefully it's of some use
 to others as well as to me.
