Good point. The only thing I'm sure of is that it wasn't hardcoded in the modem. hahahahahaha
The only times I tried to ping was after a game connect failed. (that shouldn't make a difference, but I'm running out of explanations.)

I'll try it later this week.

TO JR, Ping is similar to what you think it is from the old sub movies with sonar. You just try to send a ping (data packet) to his IP address to see if it's there. All sorts of details can be found, like what route it took and how long. I won't go into the pure technical since you I'm sure you don't care.

Yeah rah... we should experiment a little bit soon... and while we are both sober. I was in a state of shock that it worked last time considering that it has never worked in the past.

OH... and by the way... #16,000

Congrats.

You should have started a new one of these with it. We are on page 7.

Dr. Spike, i won't be around this weekend to play you either....so next weekend for sure.......i will be in touch via icq...still don't have the puter running with any sort of stability so i won't risk it...

as for the TF........ lets just say, it went like a charm

[rah]

Bast*rd!!!

Rich
Just color me green. Get that D*mn box stable

[War4ever]

Rich, what are you guyz doing online during the week....i thought your passes were only good for the weekend.....

as for the box.....i keep waiting for my buddy to give me the damm disk.....though now i wonder if i could just install a fresh version of win 98 and not the upgrade...either way i am screwed until he gives me the disk which is taking waaaaay to $##$ing long

I noticed that I hadn't take very many days off this year so I've taken a couple misc. days to play golf. On the prior nights I've taken advantage of it to play CIV

AND YES get that disk, even if you have to threaten someone.
And I would be tempted to not ungrade also.

Rich
The quality of the recent games I've played has been lower without your participation

Markus, Hold your tongue or I'll ask AH to send me those setting he uses when he hosts just so I can annoy you.

Hope you can make it War.
