Jonathan,
Ok I have just done what you suggested but not had the opportunity to try it
yet!
I had around 10 entries relating to msnmgr etc and now have just two, one
for udp and one for tcp.
Where would all the others come from?
I'll let you know how I get on, need a remote friend to come online now....
Regards,
Paul
