Hmmm that doesn't help, it only lists Services. Let me dig out an XP box and see what I can find.

I went to ooVoo, File > Settings > Connection and clicked Default, and it seems to be all better now.

I'll check again tomorrow when I switch on and let you know if I'm normal again.

Thanks.

You haven't got ICS enabled have you? I say that because I found this:

The Internet Gateway icon represents the Internet connection on your
network -- it's either a broadband router or an Internet Connection
Sharing host computer. Clicking the Internet Gateway icon lets you
monitor and control the Internet connection.

I don't think that the Internet Gateway icon itself can cause
connection problems, but here's how to remove it:

1. If you have an Internet Connection Sharing host, un-check the box
in the shared network connection's Properties | Advanced that says
"Allow other network users to control or disable the shared Internet
connection".

2. If you have a broadband router, connect to its web server interface
and disable the Internet Gateway. It might also be called "UPnP" or
"Universal Plug and Play". See the router documentation for details.

Out of interest, did you see what changed when you set Oovoo back to "Default"?

It is normal for the Internet Gateway icon to appear if a running program uses the UPnP service to control a router.
In this case it is oovoo opening ports in your routers firewwall to allow incoming connections.
Nothing to worry about..

Well, setting ooVoo back to Default seems to have cleared it anyway. Thanks all.
