I apologize for my confusion over your question about network connections. I had a brain lapse. The network connection that my brother had and I have are the same. We live together, so nothing has changed in terms of network connections. The network connection is Network 5, local and internet, Realtek RTL8101Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0). The speed of the Network connection is 100 mbps. Is that perhaps the perhaps the problem?
This doesn't look like the sort of thing you should be starting a new thread for. Good forum etiquette is to stick to one thread where possible.
