Howdy all,
Hey there, Firestorm. I just went back through a bunch of the earlier replies in this thread. I was hoping to find out some info on your system. No such luck. Could you let me know what security you're running, Norton, McAfee, etc.? Firewall? How do you connect to the internet, dial up or dsl or faster?
I'm beginning to realize just how different everyone's computer is. I mean, they come off the assembly line, fairly alike, but certainly not blue-printed. The moment we get it home, it all becomes different in a thousand subtle and not so subtle ways.
Every program has its say, nudges this other program for some room, some shared files, this and that. How on earth can we really troubleshoot a system we can't look at?
I know you guys can, and I've done my share at work, but sometimes it takes hours to locate that one tiny glitch, like the program that wants to rewrite the program you're using's ini file. Teensy change, huge mess.
But it does sound a lot like a firewall issue, Firestorm. Which firewall is that? Maybe it's one I've played with before, or Grandpa or Hopper and the others have.
Wouldn't PC Anywhere be fun, if you could trust the user.
Well, good luck.
