hi guys sorry it took so long to get back, bert thanx for the prompt. ryanjo thank you for saving me big bucks, i talked to the IT guy we use and actually copied several posts using updox of course and emailed him the suggestions. he was embarrased that he had not thought of of ethernet cards, and was suprised that several of our less than a year computers did not have gigabite capability, $300 later we are zooming fast. my boss is very pleased. and when the boss is happy, everybody is happy. thank you again
