If you get locked out by a certain provider, then you can easily check when you are no longer blacklisted at this page (needs to be accessed via IE):http://earth.google.com/getest.htmlThe kh test needs to be 'successful' for TP to access the correct servers.Using this means you don't have to load TP and FSX every time to check.Andrew

Very good!!And what URL do I have to call to unlock my access?Just joking...Gottfried

If only :-)

A huge Thank you!!

Follow-up.I tried this and it showed okThen loaded up tile proxy. By about 60% through tile loading I got the 404 message consistantly. I say screw google. Too bad.

Yeah their lockout policy can be quite aggressive though I have managed well over 1gig in data before being blacklisted.Andrew

I did post a link for cable users wanting to change their IP to get around GE blacklisting some time ago. Can dig it out again if of interest to anyone.For my part of the world can't really do without them alas. Rob

Sure dig it out
