It was a stupid mistake by me, so sorry!!!
when i put in the 127.0.0.1 2112 I wasn't putting a space in between the 1 and the 2112, it took me about 2 hours to figure that out......Feel free to flame away.

BTW thank you for even responding. Most other sites wouldn't even have responded to that. I'll be signing up for gold very soon to show my support.

thanks,
Rick
