Ed, Jon, Ben

Thanks for the help in getting my RR mail to working. Ed had the winning
answer with turning off  Explicit Congestion Notification. I had noticed
that some websites also would not come up before I turned it off, including
www.rr.com (might want to check into that Ben :) ). It comes up fine now.

This should, hopefully, be my last email form a windows machine, I had
to do it so I could properly reply to Ed, Jon, and Ben. Thanks again

Bill
