that's was easy one. install standalone TWS. then->start->run->type msconfig->got to startup tab and uncheck box "Check for TWS updates". restart computer.

You can do that easier by going to the start menu->all programs, mouse over to startup, right click on the unwanted program and select delete.

My trusty Linksys router of about 5 years just deteriorated on me. Bought a new Linksys and all my problems have disappeared.

How do you know if you router is getting old and tired? I have a 4 year old Lynksys, which seems to work well, but sometimes it shows I don't have full connection lit on LED light?

There was some visual indicator that something was not right - one of the LED lights was red when it should have been green. My router died a complete death - i.e., it was non-functional when I put it to sleep.

Speak of the devil.. I have a 1999 Linksys that is regular use in my network... No hassles, save that the Wireless died... Ethernet is fine.

Thanks for the quick replies. I am actually going to upgrade some time soon to Xincom Dual Wan Router so that I can get DSL as a back up to cable, but I will keep my old Lynksys BEFSR41 in the closet just in case.

Spring thunderstorms seem to knockout cable a bit too much in Denver.
