I deleted the old rule and put in a new one for the latest version. No use! I can only presume that the deleting of the rule has left some residual rubbish lying about! I'll look into this when I have more spare time than I have at the moment. I only need the software firewall for the odd occasion when I have to use dial-up - most of the time I go though a router with a built in firewall, so turning it off for now is no great loss! Thanks for your replies, -- Cheers, Phil ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
