OK, have tried many combinations and now seem to be able to sync reliably. The network and firewall were red- herrings. As you suggested, it seems the 'Check for changed media files' on the server was the culprit. It needs to be checked on the client side only; if the box is checked on on the server side (I think this is the default) it gets it's knickers in a twist .
I am so missing the sound files, I'd like to revert to the last beta where this worked (beta 7/8? - I've still got the download). I know I'll forgo some of the improvements but it's a case of weighing the benefits for me. Will the prior version still work with the current db structure? Kind regards B.
