This to me indicates a problem with the TCP/IP networking. What happens if you go to a command window on this PC and type: ipconfig /all This should bring up info on all of your network adapters, especially all of their netwok addresses. Also try ping localhost and ping 127.0.0.1 This should reveal if you have a network system active or not. If this is an XP-Pro machine at home and it is the only one you have and you connect to the Internet using dialup, then the chances are *very* high that your machine does *not* have a working TCP/IP system while you are disconnected from the Internet dialup. If this is the case then try installing the Microsoft Loopback Adapter, it is a software network adapter and when it is enabled TCP/IP will also be available. Install via (complex procedure...): ControlPanel/AddHardware Next Yes I have already connected the hardware Next Add a new hardware device Next .. manual select(Advanced) Next Network Adapters Next Microsoft Microsoft Loopback Adapter Next When done you should open your "Connections" and find the Loopback adapter. Go to properties/TCPIP and set a sensible IP address for it, like 192.168.113.67 or so /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
