This method ensures that several errors don't get in at once as in your case. And it means that whatever is stopping it from working is related to just the last change you made to the config file. -- Regards | _/\_/\ Andrew Johns BSc (Comp Sci) | / \ TurnAround Solutions Pty Ltd | \_...__/ http://www.turnaround.com.au/ | \/ "The box said 'Requires Windows 95, NT, or better,' so I installed FreeBSD."
