Hi Evan,

I'm back at the office. The laptop, which connects to the internet through my desktop's shared connection (which uses a modem), doesn't have the problem.

Seems to be limited to the desktop (the machine that has the modem).

My next step is to completely remove internet sharing (which won't happen today). I won't bitch anymore about this until then.

Michel has asked me several times if I have a proxy (which I don't). I have a feeling that the internet sharing thingamajig could be a proxy in disguise or at least look like one from the UT's side.

If this was the case, what steps should I take? I am willing to try a few more things before installing and uninstalling more crap on this computer.

Thanks!

Alex
