Hi,

I am most grateful to those who have kindly responded to my requests for help. I am now gambling on my Norton Ghost image getting me out of trouble if I mess things up completely!

I have still been unsuccessful in getting a DNS address from Optus but have used what I believe to be correct numbers for Melbourne. I can still get on to the internet, so is this undeniable proof that I have correct numbers here? I am guessing that if I had them wrong I would NOT be able to get online. Is this correct??

Assuming that I am correct, I continued to change my Internet Connections Properties for TCP/IP (so that I now have a static IP address,) and then uninstalled all traces of Java and downloaded and installed JRE 5 Update 12. Please see my attached screenshots.

I have set my router to allow the ports I believe to be right and am attaching a third screen shot showing these.

Can anyone see anything I have wrong as it is still not alooowing me to connect.

Thanks, Roger
