Paddy,
The guy with access to the logs is gone for the day, but will
post a reply to you in the morning.
Reported error was that the server needed to be registered with
the client. Did ultimately add the IP to the client, worked Monday
night but failed again Tuesday, for what reason I can not say.
thank you,
Brian
