Prader,
you might be on to something there, although having to yank out the modem seems a bit extreme, doesn't it? ... my network card was also (originally) installed by the Long Island equivalent to Road Runner, about 3-4 years ago. however, i had no problem using it on my older computer, which also had a modem.
that also partly answers another question i've had: are all the 10/100 network/ethernet cards made in the last few years about the same? or is it worth getting a newer one, for some reason?
by the way, Reboot, thanks for all your great suggestions. i tried most of them, without seeing any difference.
i went to the properties box of my NIC, but didn't see any buttons, boxes or tabs pertaining to drivers, such as there are for a graphics card, etc.
two questions: 1. I am using TCP/IP of course, but what is DHCP?
2. HOW would I know if my numbers are all correct for DNS servers, host, domain, etc.?
I mean, basically, I moved the card from the old computer to the new one and let Microsoft Wizards do the rest. (and THEY would never steer me wrong, now, would they? :-))
