====================================

Many thanks to Richard, Carlos and Robert for their input.

I tried the suggestions all of  you made, but without any positive results -
at least not initially.  Then I just let VPC "rest" for a few days - didn't
do anything with it.

Now when I tried VPC today - Voila!  The internet hookup worked, and I
haven't a clue as to what made the difference, it just works. Being one who
lets sleeping dogs lie, I will just be grateful to all of you and
"providence" for my good fortune.  Hooray.

Thanks again to all.
