Thanks for my 3 heros for the 3 different solutions / suggestions I received ... They all seem to work ... In their way .. Which seems to be restricted to connections coming though either modem or ethernet ... My inet connection goes through the USB port !!! I know, I have never heard of anything that silly before myself .. Anyone else ?? And is there some monitoring tool ?? FOUND IT !!! ... The internet connect app has a little window called "connection log" ... It even knows that it goes through USB .. Cool ! P
