>wwIPStuff will definitely be lighter weight. Yes, it works with secure sites, but can get tangly if you have to deploy in environments behind proxy servers and/or firewalls. Also, since you can use HTTPGetEx which is a modal call, you don't have to worry about polling for results.

Well I will have to be crossing a firewall and our clients do connect through a proxy, could you define "tangly" a bit as in problems to expect?

Thanks Erik, you've been a big help.
