one more thing ive forgotten to tell u.... that on special request ive been given admin priviledges on local machine (not the server).

scat...man, i tried netstat the sceen dump is below......

==================================================================
C:\>netstat

Active Connections

Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
TCP d13:1503 ####PROXY1:8080 ESTABLISHED
==================================================================

what should i do now.. the moment when i ran netstat i`ve already opened yahoo.com & google.com on two separate windows.

Tiger,

it is out of sheer curiosity to learn the way things work.

so u can take any website ,say www.google.com.
