Thank you for your response Ion-Mihai, On the router question, no, the router is a separate device, a D-Link 504H but is a loaner while my D-Link 804HV is in the shop. After changing them out is when I discovered I had problems. Apparently the DL804 handled whatever the problem was without a complaint. Yes I have been through setup a few times. So far all I have been able to do is take the server off-line. I have also looked up setup for NATD and I think I can enable it but would not be able to write the firewall rules for it to read yet, as I understand needs to be done. I also had a little help with setup originally and I know there is something of a firewall setup but without know what exactly I would be afraid of interfering with what is there and making a mess of it. Sorry I am such a non-user. Jeff Ion-Mihai Tetcu wrote: >On Mon, 10 May 2004 11:24:02 +0930 >"Jeffrey P.
