Bonjour Bernard,
Thanks for your quick test :-)
But may be I was not specific enough:
Here I have a Netgear router that allows me to share Internet
connection between several hard wired computers.
Probably it has something to do with this...
On the other hand I use the same Home Premium Vista version than you.
Internet check is always something tricky because of firewalls,
routers, etc.
Well: why Rev that provides revBrowser does not provide a built-in
function?
:-(
