Why is Outlook so much slower, cable modem.

Probably because of the client configuration options. It's been a long while, but I once had to twiddle a registry entry dealing with the ordering of the transports - basically moving IP ahead of NetBEUI (or should I say "NetBIOS", I always forget). Anyway, slowness was cured because the initial delay of hitting Microsoft Networking and timing-out was avoided because IP was tried first.. Scan through

Herb, I went to that site but fail to see what you are addressing. I have used Regedit often but do not know at this time what you might want me to change or where in the registry you would make such a change. Can you be specific?

Thanks in advance
