Your code is very similar to mine.

Have tried your example here also on dial-up and it doesn't work either, however it does work on broadband, same as my code.

And for the third time - YES THERE ARE CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET WHEN THEY TRY !!!

I don't understand what the possible difference is, if either dial-up or broadband once on-line. But obviously there is.

Pity one small part spoils an otherwise good application.
