Ok i fixed my problem, here is what happened. I was using this function to return an the IP address of the computer (so we would know if different forms were from different people)

Code:
Private Function GetMyIP() As Net.IPAddress
        Using wc As New Net.WebClient
            Return Net.IPAddress.Parse(Encoding.ASCII.GetString(wc.DownloadData("http://whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp")))
        End Using
    End Function

the link that we used to return the IP address changed to
http://automation.whatismyip.com/n09230945.asp
