Hello Stoner,

Nice to see you again after such a long time. I'm fine thanks. Hope you are too.

Thanks for the info. I'll try that and see how it goes.

Bye,
Penny.

Hello again,

I did as you said and have changed the values of the entries shown in your configuration. Are those the only ones to tweak? I presume I find the cache under Firefox "Options".

Thanks,
Bye,
Penny.

Stoner:
I upped that value to 100. WOW. Since mine was set at 8 the difference is quite noticeable. However- if 32 is interpreted as a flood by some sites, what does 100 come across as. Anyone experience banning?

Hi Mary Ann

I haven't been banned or been warned.
I have a Norton Fire wall from NIS 2000 that has a tool bar showing the number of netwoork connections.
Internet Explorer has a similar tweak that I've used for about 3 years. I have never had a problem with being banned during that period
My Norton tool bar actually shows more network connections with IE than FireFox.
I just tested it by opening both browsers on the Business form, here. I saw 20 total connections with IE and 10 with FF, that included four connections for connectivity to the internet.

Smiling Jack:
Thanks for the info. That tweak helps and I'd really like to keep it. Your further information is reassuring. Anyway if I get banned, I'll just go elsewhere. Many thanks.
