(do Iã need to reboot?).ãã I'm running win ME. I don't think a firrewall is running. It doesn'tã Show up in the TaskManager.ãã *I* ever turned it on...ããã BTW, thanks for your time with this problem, hopefully it's of some useã to others as well as to me.ããããã ----------------------------------------------------------------ã James King KC8UGV | Sysop - Bits-N-Bytes BBS ã Coldwater, MI 49036 | http://www.synchro.net/sbbslist.htmlã ----------------------------------------------------------------ã RSS http://tinyurl.com/zswzsã ----------------------------------------------------------------ã...
