I don't know Mariana. I've read replies in other newsgroups that stipulate
ports 1723 and 43 for VPN and others that stipulate ports 1723 and 47.

I'm closing 21, 80 and 43 and opening 47 as you said though - thanks very
much.

Just waiting for a colleague to come into work to reboot the server for me
as I'm at the other side of the pennines and doing all this remotely as I
can get RWW working fine.

Hey ~ Thanks again...!
