The window list when you press ctrl-ecs.

the linksys acts as a hub.  The 'internet' socket (port) is not used.  From my firewall/gateway os/2 v1.1 box the cable goes to one of the 4 
ports on the linksys.  And another hub is attached to one of those 4 ports since the 4 ports on the linksys is insufficient for my needs.

I guess I have something set incorrectly.  I bet it's in the linksys, some of those screens have caused me plenty of confusion.  But like I said, 
no problem with the other family members and their XP machines (and earlier versions of Win before that).
