[QUOTE="Bob M., post: 1829885, member: 200112"] I've read of firewalls but no idea what stealth mode is; probably time to haul out the textbooks. I guess I've always relied (probably too long) on the notion that Macs don't get viruses and all that sort of stuff. Of course, that's all changing all the time. I couldn't imagine why anyone would want to try to get into my computer (there's practically nothing in it) but I guess I still shouldn't make it too easy for that to happen. I doubt my problem is a sticky button or mis-aligned switch in its hole. I work in audio electronics and am familiar with these type of switch malfunctions which is not the case here on my iMac. Thanks, Bob M. [/QUOTE]
