Did you go into the Preferences and disable the FSMeteo dialup connection (or something to that effect; it's at the bottom of the Preference screen)? It is probably looking for your normal modem and trying to call out. Instead you want to tell it to bypass that and just go out to the internet and get the info.It works quite well for me with a cable modem.

If I recall, there is a long description on how to get it to work in the installation document. I'll be in the same boat this weekend, once I get the cable modem installed. :-)Regards,http://www.pbase.com/image/4765991.jpg | [LINK:www.airliners.net/search/photo.search?photographersearch=Jeffrey%20L.%20Snyder&distinct_entry=true|AIRLINERS.NET PHOTOS] [link:www.biblegateway.com/bgaudio/english/NIV/Max%20McLean/RM/bgaudio.pl?selection=1|AUDIO BIBLE] ] JEFF_S_KDTW@YAHOO.COM[/b

I can confirm Ken's reply, go to Preferences ->Network Settings & click 'Disable FSMeteo Dialup'.Works a treat on BB :-)
