Try >echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn Doesn't echo anything, but when I vi it, there is "0" I connect by cable modem. Still cannot get Host to connect to Internet! >Have you tried the config file I sent you... (Erik Espinoza) Thanks Erik.

I just noticed the clock and rh applet disappear since I untarred a FC1 /home/user dir onto a user account on the FC2 Host... ? Thanks in advance Chris
