What > do you think the problem here could be? I can only see one problem. You have started a new thread for an existing problem. Many people offered suggestions, no one knows whether you took the advice, but you have decided to create a new thread, so though no one has helped you. Did you take the offered advice to use telnet to verify that the site is reachable from your computer? Did you make any recent changes to your system, network configuration or ISP service? How do you know you don't have a proxy problem? These are the same questions I asked before, but didn't get answers to. -- Paul Lutus http://www.arachnoid.com
