Agent has/had a thing that stung me, where if you accidentally added a trailing space behind your server id, in setup, then you could never connect. i'll try moving 'badbobst' rule higher up the list of filters, from the bottom to near the top, and see if that makes a difference sorry for taking so long to reply, thanks for reading ~charlie -- Using The Bat! v2.01.3 on Windows 98 4.10 Build 2222 A ________________________________________________________ http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
