I'm not doing anything unusual to my firewall or router at all Lee. And I am using skype occasionally, with it using the onboard nforce version of the av97 chipset. And except for needing to use 'skype_dsp_hijacker -2nd' in the icon to launch it, its all in the /etc/modules.conf file. I think maybe you even helped me set it up originally last fall. Do I need to copy that back to the list again? >Lee -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules.
