Hi Andy, So far that problem is only present when connecting to port 1521 on the remote server (neptune). Not to any other port, the strange thing is that every other server is fine when connecting to 1521, its just this one. When pinging the server (10.10.8.24) I get lots of dots ( about 30) appear on the screen. I've never used the flood option before so I'm not sure what to expect. Any ideas? Thanks Dan
