Thanks, I had tried everything : re-started router, flushing dns, etc but the fact the email and IM were wokring fine seemed odd ? I thherefore put down to either a Firewall issue (Zone Alarm) or a Windows Update. Fortunately I had backed up my "System State" from April which I restored and hey presto, everything was fine again. I ran the updates on Zone Alarm and rebooted and so far so good. I then ran the windows updates (the most recent ones in May 2007) and low and behold, the problem came back again.

I've now restored by system again got everything working and have turned off windows updates (for the time being). I've done a few firewall test and my machine currently appears to be ok and invisible to anyone (touch wood) so I'm going to call it a day and wait a few weeks and try again with any new updates which have appeared.

Thanks for your help.
