Steve,
The hazards of cross-posting... ; ]
In a separate subthread OP mentioned also:
<quote>
One Care Does not appear to be the problem - I turned it off and still can't
get on. Says window has shut down - then not responding - I have internet
connection because Money updates - Anyone with ideas???
</quote>
My question was, when OC firewall is active, does it have
a diagnostic which proves that it is passing a request on
to the network?
Thanks for joining in.
Robert
