Everything works fine using my current setup. Every web page etc, EXCEPT my server. So if the case was him not wanting me on the net, he wouldn't just block my server would he?
I think the IP is being blocked somewhere, but i'm not sure where or how. I was trying to see how many different methods of blocking an IP are available in Windows XP by default, but over at Microsoft forums you're lucky to get a reply within 6 month
