Gary has one angle in the other thread you created, so let me take a
different tact in this one.

If, in fact you have no heat or physical connection issues:

What do you have installed as your protection against Internet attacks?
How secure is your network [keep in mind: the Internet IS part of your
network when you access it, even if you have no actual local network {more
than one computer connected} and even the supposed protection of a router]?
