You'll have to wait 4 minutes for the TCP connection to timeout, or you can reboot your router. Either way I bet money that at one point there will be a PC turned off and the connection will not get re-asserted. That that PC out back and either crush it with an SUV or load FreeBSD on it, either way will fix the problem :-) (More helpfully go to www.lavasoft.de and get their adaware program for culling such things) --Chuck
