As I said, this was just an attempt to test connecting from outside; guess I'll have to wait until I get to work tomorrow and try it from there (which is where I really want to connect from), it's just that if it doesn't work I'll have to wait until I get home to change things - a bit of a pain. Thanks for the answer. Regards, Mark
