There has been only one jackass in this thread; the person who started
the thread.

You were blaming everyone but yourself, and it turns out that you failed
to read and follow the instructions, and then caused the problem with
Vista, but yet continued to try to shift the blame away from yourself.

You were argumentative, abrasive, and insulting, so you got treated as
you were treating others, and now you're whining about that.

It is a shame that in your dotage you are unable to accept
responsibility for your own actions.

What? - My stupid DSL modem certainly is *NOT*
a stinking LAN network. (Local Area Network)

It is a WAN network for crist sake! (Wide Area Network)

It is the interface between a LAN and a WAN; it is not a network itself.

See, all that is necessary here is for an unsuspecting Mac user to
learn how to "talk Vista", where all WAN connections are somehow
magically changed into LAN connections.

Wrong. the LAN is the connection between the DSL modem and your
computers. The WAN is the connection between the DSL modem and your
provider. So from the computer's view, it is on a LAN.

Sheesh, I will never get used to Vista.

In that regard, Vista, Mac OS X, and Unix are all equivalent systems.

Only because of your own arrogance and stupidity.
