Blocked access to snapshots

[NetNomad]

The other day I tried uploading snapshots for the first time in about a week. I started PSO Proxy as usual, checked my computer's IP (it changes sometimes) and edited my settings accordingly... just what I always do. I use a BBA and a Linksys wireless router (but neither the cube nor the comp are connected wirelessly). This time, the screen did not change, and instead the "loading" icon stayed and would not go away, as if it couldn't get through.

I had this problem once before and it turned out to be ZoneAlarm blocking PSO Proxy. I manually set it to allow PSO Proxy and that problem was solved. Now I checked again... it's still allowing PSO Proxy. Odd. I should mention that someone else in this household reinstalled Windows XP on this comp in an attempt to fix a different problem. I tried to check the Windows firewall settings (guessing they might have been reactivated during the install process), but all I get is a message saying "due to an unidentified problem, windows cannot display windows firewall settings." Wow, that's comforting. ¬_¬

PSO Proxy users, ever had problems like this?

Try deleting the pso proxy from zonealarms list and then re add it.

Eep, bigger problem now. I tried to access the website and I forgot that I took off the proxy server setting off that particular card (that has nothing to do with this problem though). After it got me to that weird page of Japanese characters, I pushed "setup" and disconnected. I entered my comp's IP as usual, but I got to the "network settings complete" page, pushed back, and nothing happened. I'm stuck at that screen... every time I push any button at all, it makes the click sound but the screen doesn't change...

I would soft reset but it always says, don't remove memcard (or turn off power I think) until I leave the website screen. If I pushed hard reset right now, what would happen? Would anything corrupt? >_>

Nothing would corrupt, it would just lose any unsaved changes.
