You know what, this is exactly why I love all you guys.. (and gals!) You've all given me loads of avenues to explore there that I hadn't thought of (because I just automatically assumed that I was at fault) in particular I like the McAfee policy update suggestion, because on Monday I had problems doing command-line FTP client connections to absolutely The Whole World, which 'they' (The Network Powers That Be Who Are A Law Unto Themselves) told me was due to a McAfee policy roll-out blocking port 21.. However that got fixed and I can 'native' FTP now. I'm surprised to see that 192.168.2.1 address in there - that is NOT my workstation, that is some 172.17.xxx.xxx address. So where has that 192 one come from? Is McAfee routing it through some sort of proxy, I wonder? Time for a chat with The Network Boys in the morning (it's 11:30pm here in the 51st State at the moment), I suspect though, I think I *know* how the conversation is going to go.. something along the lines of "..Changed? No, nothing's changed.. ..Nah, nothing we would do would affect you in *that* way.." etc Thanks again folks for all the pointers and suggestions of which way to go. At least I know I'm not going mad.
