Thanks, Gavin! I tried getting to the IP addresses directly, but they must have done something because they are also blocked. I'll see if I could use VNC, but I doubt it will work. If you know Fannie Mae, you understand that they are very sensitive to the outside world and nothing, absolutely nothing should disrupt their activities. I think that's why they are so picky about outside Internet access... -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] "Heuristics are bug ridden by definition.
