Hi William I've moved this from mac Access.
Virgin Media! Say No More! Their hubs, just like those of BT, are junk! Fine, I guess, if all you want is basic connectivity and that's it. But if you need more advanced sharing you're out of luck. By sharing, I mean bridging, not port forwarding. Actually I've never seen their port forwarding mechanism but if it's anything like the rest of the crud you're talking about here, I feel sorry for you!
