I mentioned that in my case I couldn't check the anti IP spoofing, but I knew about that immediate since I couldn't connect to anything. The only one I had a problem with was "Stealth mode browsing" which when it was checked I couldn't get to www.blackviper.com . So you may want to go there and see what happens. Hey, what the heck happened to that website? Looks like he's been hijacked! I'll post that in a separate email, but getting back to your problem--I simply unchecked the box when I had to go to that site, then checked it back when I was finished. I didn't notice any other website where I had a problem with it. -Clint

It sends up all kinds of warnings when I clicked each of them. Anyway we'll see how it works. and again Thanks a bunch LarryB K & L Support-OrpheusComputing.com wrote: > Yeah, that'll work to, but it's probably easier to do it via > software.
