I'll change the hosts entry, I wasn't too sure at the time if I should do it this way or not. I use this particular PC as a firewall and dhcp server, so it is kind of on a network, the IP is assigned by my ISP dynamically, ergo my confusion Is there a way to modify the user name to lower case? Otherwise I'll just add the same user with all lowercase and see how things go. I had thought briefly that this may be the issue but hadn't see anything. Thanks again. Dave
