Ok thanks for the clarification. Yes it is the server with Imail on it doing
the Dialup. And no there is no routing options in the DUN settings, there is
however in the tcp/ip settings for the card and I do have this enabled.
There is not WINS setup though, could this be causing it (I have 0
experience with WINS and don't even know what it is for actually)
