would you go about it? First, check out my last 2-3 posts on this
topic. I really don't know what else to try except maybe a clean
installation (which shouldn't make any difference).<br><br>Benjamin<br><br>

didn't work. Here is my bb-hosts

dropped the tests using the following commands.<br><br> bb 127.0.0.1
