Hi Moco,
Welcome to the PCHF,
Ok to start with you should probably uninstall the program.
Secondly we need to know some thing about your connection. Do you have a fixed IP address? If you do you should contact your ISP and resolve it through them.
If not try this;
click on "start" then "run", type "command" or "cmd" (whichever works, command is for win '98 and cmd for most others), when the command prompt comes up type "ipconfig /release" when that finshes type "ipconfig /renew"
This should reset the ip address from your ISP.
All the best
