Since switching to xtra with a cheap $100 modem I cant,  I have set up dmz to allow apparently open access to my router assigned IP address but it still cant connect.  It just says 'connecting' and never does connect, to msn, icq or yahoo which are the accounts I have set up on it.  It was working find on the orcon connection.  All other applications ie transmission, browsing, email etc are working and connecting fine.

Kim, just a quick note here - if posting a new message to nzlug can
you please send it in a new email? I.e. send an email to
nzlug at linux.net.nz. It can get alittle confusing if your email client
tries to sort messages into threads for you.
