message | I posted the second one because the first seemed lost.
| Sorry. But the second one added that two different ISPs
| did the same thing - its not them. I had a severe
| hijacking virus attack and turned up my security really
| high with a lot of anti-virus programs run before I found
| 5 infecting files. The 2 minute wait started around that
| time. I fear its a registry setting that I may never
| find.

| Thanks for the hint on addresses.
