Hello guys,

I know what a router is and what a modem is.  I am not confused at all and am 
using the proper words to describe each when I write you.  My router is a D-
link Air Plus Extreme G.  It has the ability to connect to 4 computer using 
hard wire.  It is not set up to use it wireless, because I don't remember how 
to configure it, but I have been using it only like a Hub, so that I could have 
a couple of computers connected to the internet at the same time.

David Kuntadi asked me to try a Live CD to see if it would get connection.  I 
did and it did, on what I call the infected computer.  Using the Live CD I 
sent an email to the List explaining that connection.  It was a reply to David 
Kuntadi.  The title of the Subject was: Re:command for downloading a package 
to save.

I don't really know how it got on that Subject, but it is.  I confirmed that 
all Kmail configurations are accurate.  I checked them letter by letter, number 
by number.  I did not skip a single entry.  The configuration is exactly 
correct.  Still, what I call the infected computer provides and UNKNOWN HOST 
error message for konqueror and kmail.  Using the Live CD, what I call the 
infected computer works perfect.  All the tests were run using a direct 
connection to the ISP via a DSL modem.  It is small, about an inch high.  It 
is about 3 inches deep and about 4 inches wide.  It has five lights on it.  The 
first one is Power, the second is Ethernet, the third one is DSL, The fourth 
one is Internet, the fifth one is Activity..  This is not confusing me at all.

The router is about 8 inches tall, is about an inch wide and has D-Link 
written on its side.  It has the words AirPlus Extreme G written on it and 
just to make sure I understand, it says Wireless Router.  You can relax at 
least on this point.  I am not trying to be smart, I am just trying to 
describe it so thoroughly that you believe I am using the proper words this 
time and understand what I am referring to.  Several have seemed unsure if I 
understand, and I have assured them I do,  If you will believe me, it removes 
one of the options to consider.  If you want, when I use a term, I will 
describe what I mean in this way.  So many are kindly trying to help, I want 
the parts where you are unsure if I know what I am describing is clearly 
understood.  Each time you are unsure, just say so.  If my word isn't good 
enough, I will describe as above to remove your doubt or confirm your 
assumption.

Steven
