I've been trying to get the IDC to look into the problem, but they're not very helpful and recon I need to check my software. I know the "server" runs desktop hardware, so it could be a hardware problem, but they don't seem to think so. So, I'm trying todo everything I can, from my side, via SSH to see if I can figure it out. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Hosting Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532
