It's not short-circuited via the HOSTS file. So, unless it's being cut
off someplace else... I can't explain what I see... Duece?

Trying to connect to 71.13.128.6 times out, but the dns info appears to
be functioning. Is that is your external IP? Assuming yes, make sure
WIndows Firewall didn't turn itself on during an Update (if you are on
Win that is).. or any other firewall that would block external requests?

Saddly I don't see an external ip address.

I just enabled the DMZ option for this machine and still nada. (do I
need to reboot?).

I'm running win ME. I don't think a firrewall is running. It doesn't
Show up in the TaskManager.

*I* ever turned it on...


BTW, thanks for your time with this problem, hopefully it's of some use
to others as well as to me.
