 So sorry that your post had been missed, it gets a little crazy around here sometimes... Can you tell me if you go to Tools > Options > Bug Report > View Example scroll down to Received Incomming this Session, if it's true you are not blocked by a firewall, but if it is false you are being blocked.... If you recieved False try updating your drivers for your NETGEAR WG311v2 http://kbserver.netgear.com/products...ic/WG311v2.asp Also is that card the only way you connect to the internet or do you have a little black box that hooks you up ?? If yes what is the make and model of that...
