I would like to discontinue MSN(asap) but know I need to be sure I have a connecting browser before the call MSN to discontinue. I'm having difficulty with renewing (or setting up correct) IP adr - currently I have a IP adr that expires in a few hours but I don't know what I did to get this temporary IP adr earlier today to even pursue making it longer term. I sure could use some assistance. Thank you

This sounds like you may be offline shortly. (I don't know. I am NOT a computer guy.) Right now, go to dwightblackburn.com and write down his phone number. (It's towards the bottom of the page.) If you do lose your internet connection, call him. (He is in Alaska, so adjust for hours accordingly.)
