[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1433888, member: 24098"] I don't need a picture, I think I have a pretty good idea based on your description. Without getting technical, DHCP basically means automatic configuration, which is a good thing. Now, I'm not all that familiar with Satellite ISPs, but I know that at least at one time, a dial-up line was required for upload, while all downloads came through the dish. I believe that it's now possible to do 2-way communication, is that what you have, or is their a phone line going to your modem? Also, do you use a wireless router of some sort? My guess is that you have a DNS issue. Basically when your computer asks for a friendly address, like "http://www.yahoo.com", DNS is the service that translates the name over to machine-friendly IP addresses. It's possible to bypass the ISP's DNS servers, but I want to get a better picture of your connection/home network before I make specific recommendations. [/QUOTE]
