Thanks all!
CloudDriver - the Tom's Hardware site definitely helped - the task manager tells me that there is no activity on the wireless connection but that the local area network is getting the activity when I'm on YouTube.
And I unplugged the wireless router - everything still worked.
So it looks like I'm all OK... I've renamed my local area connection to D-Link. Can't imagine how it got named Netgear. Maybe *I* did that in the last few days of setting up the new computer. :S
I did have crazy fun watching PSY on YouTube while working on this little project!
wa8yxm - thanks - me too - I actually had to talk to folks in Japan when installing a Soundblaster card in my 486.
Thanks again all. Sometimes I just need a little kick in the brain.
