Thanks Tim for the heads up!
Well the thing is that I didn't even get a chance to back-up anything,
it was my school that just changed all the IP address's all of a

John - the web settings in the SA have been changed, including the new
IP Address, but still no luck..
Does it have anything to do with the port number perhaps?
