[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1593726, member: 307555"] Has your friend blocked ports on his router? If you are getting on the internet your IP address is fine. Your mail app and gaming apps are using different ports and possible different protocols. In an effort not to get too complicated (I have seen people's eyes glaze over when I get to technical and smile when I just say, I fixed it!) ask if they have a filter or firewall on their internet. Sometimes people are not aware their modem or router is capable of filtering or restricting access because they never use those ports. I suspect that might be your problem. Lisa [/QUOTE]
