This one is kinda common, usually. Just look in the lowest left hand corner of the evolution display. You'll see the two plugs plugged into each other, normally. But, if you see a red X between them, you're in local mode. Click on it, the plugs connect together and you're back into Net Mode. I Hope this was the problem, it's sure the easiest to fix, nor will you be likely to forget it. :) Ric -- ================================================ My father, Victor Moore (Vic) used to say: "There are two Great Sins in the world... ..the Sin of Ignorance, and the Sin of Stupidity.
