Which is not to say I'm ungrateful for the help you and Richard have offered here. On the contrary, I'd have had great difficulty eliminating the firewall as a cause of my oddness without it. Just that I'm somewhat at a loss, since I seem to have no options that don't involve a large amount of work for possibly no benefit and I'm ill dammit, and am therefore having a grump. I honestly hope it doesn't seem like the grump is targetted at you two and apologise if it came over that way.
