Tried the local & remote without the GATEWAY change & it didn't work, also tried the GATEWAY stuff without the changes that you suggested and it didn't work either. Together the whole thing is just great, infact I'm inundated with demand dial-ups so there's clearly some housekeeping to do on the network and some routing issues to deal with. Thanks once again for the prompt response ... saved me thinking about it for the third weekend in a row! We're hoping to switch to ADSL as soon as BT can give us the go ahead for our countryside site so it may all have been a lot of messing about for nowt, but it's a good learning experience.
