Simon,

    Both site are firewalled, however they communicate through a VPN which
has all ports open. The event logs report 4102 and 4243 which is telling me
I'm not setting up the WINS server properly, even following other people's
advice its not working. It's probably just me.

Thank you
Alex Anderson
