hi there,

I dont have a brick wall in from of the blue world icon every time but somtimes i do, however it makes no differance to the result as the downloads are still no good with or with out the brick wall!

I am running a phisical fire wall in my netgeat router DG834GT and the xp fire wall is off.

I am running Avast AV software and on my other machine i am running nortorn AV and still have the same trouble.

Any more suggestions ??????????????????

Thanks
