TSGL: Vista rights problem

[H Davis]

Don,

I managed to get this solved but the solution certainly wasn't obvious. 
It turned out to be the router which only had to be rebooted. Don't know 
why it went west but it happens.

The symptoms certainly didn't point in that direction and we did have 
internet access but as the night went on that got worse; slow responses, 
no responses, which started to make me suspicious. Oh well, another 
learning experience courtesy of Microsoft.

These new fangled computers are just too complicated. They'll never 
catch on.

Thanks for the help. I'm saving your response for the next time.
