[Hiding]

I can't connect direct without calling the cable company, I use the DHCP service from the router to asign the IP address to the computer and have cloned the registered computers MAC adress onto the router (which all works, or did on an old 98 machine)

I can see the non-working computer from the working computer, but not vice versa, still pings a web site and the router. Email connects and authorizes, then starts to download messages and times out.

I appreciate your feedback and help, its frustrating the hell out of me
