Not really a problem, just a matter of curiosity. I'm running W2K. Up until recently, when I wanted to hang up my modem web connection, I'd bring up the "connected to XYZ ISP" thingy in my task bar, click "disconnect" and wait, oh, maybe a half second or so.

But I suddenly discover that I have to wait about five seconds for it to hang up now. Is this because I recently installed Internet Connection Sharing? Or because I changed ISPs? Or is there likely to be some other reason.

I'm not too fussed about it, just curious.

Also, is there any way to switch off the idiot damn "you are now connected to XYZ" message I get when I've completed a connection. It's always done that, and it really bugs me because it brings the task bar to the top and I can't click on things until it decides to let me have my computer back.

Grrrr.
