    Hi sp agent - nope, no problems. Try connecting via the IP# 207.46.106.88. If that works, check your hosts file to make sure that it hasnt accidentally been entered. Cheers

    AnnMarie,
    This might be a simple question but how do you find the IP address of a web page?
    Thanks,

    Hi richie259 - Triple7's method will do it but I'm lazy and use the easy way. Go here and paste the url you want the IP# for. It also translates an IP# to a hostname.
