Alrighty then! Thank you a whole bunch for helping. Hopefully I won't need to use the VPN for long, but with Cryptic's history with fixes, I'm not going to hold my breath. Ah..rant over, thanks again everyone who lent a hand (Special love to Aiqa)

Yep, checked out the numbers and..they are waaaaay off, first and third column being well below 500, and the second column fluctuating between around 40 and 20.
Thank you, I'm discussing it now with a close friend who's godly (in this ignorant peon's mind) at computer stuff, this'll help a lot, and yes, I've been watching the thread Aiqa linked since it was first posted, none of the answers made any sense to me sadly.
How would I go about doing that? I'm hardly a computer whizz, so please excuse me if I seem a bit simple. And what should I be looking out for when I run the trace?
