Hi Jerry,

My IP address changes from week to week.  I doubt they store IP addresses 
since most everyone who logs in has their IP address changed.  This is a 
very normal thing to happen as addresses time out and are re-allocated on a 
dynamic basis. I would suspect by reloading Windows XP, you fixed something 
else.
