Interference from cordless phones is a strong possibility; 2.4ghz phones are known to cause some problems. i have 5.8ghz phones next to my wireless with no problems but as i said 2.4ghz colud be interfering, check the router documentation.mmkropp

Regarding your question on PHP integration also try forum.java.sun.com (i hope it is ok to recommend another forum!) for tips and hints. Playing around with JBuilder brought me to realize that i needed to focus on the app./editor that could ease me into writing my programs quickly and at the same time learn! mmkropp

I took my first semester Java (spring '05) we used BlueJ as our compiler/editor. It worked ok but had some printing issues and was also a very stripped down program. Eclipse was recommended by our Prof. so I tried it. I liked it much better than BlueJ. The learning curve is much steeper for Eclipse but has many more features, there are also some new plugins. I tried working with the UML diagramming but ran out of time as finals were coming up. Also my Prof. stated that it looked like the IT dept. was going to drop BlueJ for Eclipse this next semester. I am scheduled to take Java 2 this fall and therefore will learn Eclipse much better.mmkropp
