Jonathan...

I'm really confused now..... Whiteboard and application sharing were working
fine (certainly within my own LAN) with WM uninstalled, by that I mean I
unchecked it from add/remove programs then add/remove windows components.

It makes no difference to me if WM is installed or not for those
applications to work, I cannot for the lif of me get the blooming remote
assistance to work.

Maybe that might give a clue as to what is wrong ?

I have reinstalled WM and will leave it like that.

Regards,

Paul
