Sorry, I don't completely understand. I can ping the host computer fro
mthe client, and vice versa, and I followed the link in your reply but
alas I did not understand.
If you could explain again, or have other ideas please let me know as I
am still baffled.

One development through playing around with things is that it would
appear the problem is intermittent, occasionally (but not for long) the
internet, mail, and MSN can be accessed by the Client computer, but not
all at the same time, and as I said I can walk away, come back 10
minutes later and the problem is back.

I hope this makes sense to someone!

Thanks
