I have to type this, it is the only way I can get it.  I tried a thumb drive 
yesterday; it showed the fine transfer to the thumb drive, but when I opened 
the thumb int the laptop, it did not show there.

I am very confused by what you said in the preceding paragraph.  What has 
changed by doing this test?  My memory is pretty bad, but I don't remember 
that.  After sending, I will search the archives.  What you said here sounds 
like if I direct connect the modem to the, what I call the infected box, it 
should work normally.  After I send, I will try direct modem to infected box 
and see.

When I connect the modem to the laptop, it always works.  Are you talking 
about connecting the modem to the router and the router to the laptop and 
having that work again?

But I haven't been using wireless, because I can't get it to work.  It has not 
been a priority though like other things, or I probably would have tried 
again.  I am not sure where the laptop wireless card is right now anyway.

Wow, if the infected box works direct to modem, I will consider this a 
success, even if it still isn't totally cured.  Thanks Mucho!
