I posted a reply yesterday but it appears it didn't show up. I have used ICS with problems, then tried the Proxy server method, which was not so great. I now use a sharer box with great success, and with what appears to be a faster overall connect speed. Just remember that each same time used slows down the connection. ie: 2 @ 56.6=28.8 approx., @56.6=14.4 approx. Andrew
