Or an isp problem hth Elie De Brauwer Actually, it needed a reboot in hindsight, i probably could have gotten by with just a network restart. I had been playing with ip failover and ip address changing, I am thinking that mucked something up and something needed a restart Thanks for the suggestions though!
