Hi Rob > if I change my default gateway to virgin – the problem goes away
Are you running both connections at the same time ? If so you could always add a static route on the machine to connect to Virgin's mail server via the Virgin gateway and leave the default route via your DSL Regards Wayne -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
