This being one of those times more of the latter. Recently I have been having connection issues that I thought to be cause of a faulty router. Today it finally annoyed me enough to actually test everything to see what the actual cause was. After finding out it wasn't the ports on the router or the cables etc.., I discovered the problem was with the network adapter in the PC. I checked it and it was only running 10Mbps and had limited connectivity off and on so I yanked it out and put a new shiny one in. I feel like such a dummy for overlooking the most obvious thing that should have been the first thing I checked. Anyway the bad adapter was a Netgear card, which is among several Netgear products that I have had that have either failed or had serious issues. I stopped buying anything by Netgear (only Linksys now) a couple years ago but must have overlooked that last card. All of my systems have been purged of their Netgear impurities and everything is running just as it should. pfft.

And I have this insane urge to eat an Almond Joy now :P
