Well, the link it should have given you sends me to: http://opm.blitzed.org/details?ip=69.44.8.25 Which explains exactly what sort of open proxy it is and on what port. If this is your address, it is on your machine, if it is the cahce, you will need to talk to your admin again. -- Dean Earley AKA IZS ([email protected]) irc: irc://irc.blitzed.org/ web: http://personal.earlsoft.co.uk Phone: +44 (0)1489 789742 Mobile: +44 (0)780 8369596
