Can't Navigate My LAN Or Ping

[Leonard Chatagnier]

Damn, that twice today some ad web page has hijacked my web mail
page and I lose my compose.  When it happens my  compose page starts
jumping up and down, mouse pointer jumps all over the place and I can;t stop any of it.  Frustrating.  I wont recompose as I understand what you mean
now so I'll just move the maching and do it and get back..
