I just started my SBC Yahoo DSL service and everything is working fine but a few things:

1. When I start up MIE, it takes like 5-10 seconds of "detecting proxy settings" before it lets me surf. Can this be fixed? Cable Modem never did this.

2. The upload times (on FTP) max at about 15k/sec. Is this normal?

3. I can't get my newgroups client to work. I can download the new headers, but can't download the threads/binary attachments. I use Forte's "Free Agent". Any tips?

Thanks all.
