Glad it worked out for you.rocky, we changed dns numbers at home and internet is much quicker now, thanx, you're a miracle man!
turned out that internet problems in my work computer came from the machine itself and my jinxed fingers. my computer is absolutely dead now after crashing three times in two days :-(((
Of course, there were several people involved in testing the new numbers, before posting them as the solution, and as I wouldn't want to catch hell for reporting bad news (don't kill the messenger) I can't take credit for bringing good news either.
A Verizon techie showed me the way, and we tested it for a few days before offering it up as "THE" solution.
I also benefit almost everyday from info and opinions posted on DR1.
