Yes, it is the only one and it's been and ongoing problem for at least 6
months or more. I went through some spyware removal steps at
http://spywarewarrior.com/sww-help.htm. That, I think is when the problem
started, but I'm not completely sure. I've tried undoing everything that
I did, plus deleting all temporary files and cookies, resetting IE to
factory defaults and even contacted the author of the site (but he had no
other suggestions).
My router is the DHCP server (at least I think it is - in the
configuration, DHCP tab, DHCP Server is set to Enabled).
Thanks for any help. My next idea was re-install XP, but I don't think I
want to go that far.
