HTH,
Yes, I've attempted command line ftp and http  updates as well. REAL 
slow to the point of unusable. Tests of data transfer within my LAN 
indicate the problem is WAN traffic. The FC3 box sees the windos boxes 
and i can transfer data at what seems a normal rate. Browsing is 
painfully slow. Just don't know what else to check.
