You can use this address: (E-Mail Removed).
It works if you drop the "x".

The command "ipconfig /all" is not a solution; it is the
first step in the diagnostic process. Furthermore, if
you are concerned about posting your internal IP address
then you should urgently install a firewall. Keep in mind
that each time you send an EMail to someone, the
recipient can extract your IP address from the mail
header. The same applies to Internet sites you visit:
They can easily harvest your address.

Hi again!

Thanks for your effort. I have firewalls (yes two) one in my D-link
router/gateway and one SW on my computer.

I will extract the information and send it to you. Can you explain what you
are looking for in the ipconfig/all?

Best regards

Christer Mattsson

If you read the posts in this newsgroup then you will
see that they are generated by people from lots of
different backgrounds. Some are experts and some
know nothing at all about networking. I will therefore
take nothing for granted and make no assumptions
about anything. As I said before, the output from
ipconfig.exe is a starting point only, nothing more,
to give me some background info about your setup.
It is well possible that it is the end point too - I have
no magic want to wave at your problem.
