    You still have Internet access, etc.? Have you tried completely disabling the firewall? How are you connecting?

    That's what I think too, more and more ISPs are doing this as it takes up a bulk of their traffic, and is mainly for illegal reasons.

    Have you tried connecting directly to the net, perhaps with the modem that was supplied by the ISP?

    I am using Talk Talk Broadband..i rang them and although i knew this wasnt the problem they told me to talk to to makers of the programs..staff etc. They are no help at all.
