kjacko - I don't know if you know this trick but for future reference, if you want to check for hijacked connections use this command:
netstat -a
This gives you a list of all the current network connections including the ports they are using and their state - you can then whois any suspect IPs to find out what you're connected to.
Lol, and THATwas going to be my next suggestion to prentice after the ping, but i didn't want to confuse him, as the results it throws up woud probably give him a heart attack!
But thanks, i must admit i did forget about it in the first instance as i don't tend to use it very often.
