After being burgled at my town offices I moved the whole dammed shebang home and now run it from my own server room. BT may not be the best, but they (or rather OpenReach) own the lines, exchange and pretty much all else... plus they have helped. If I go through a third party I end up with at least one more level of 'have you re-booted your router' etc. Bottom line, I'd rather solve a problem than work round it. As it happens I have a second IP off the range that I could have used, but that would have meant a lot of DNS work etc (and DNS and I are not good friends). IMHO solving is better than blaming. My original post was a request for advice and help. I got a lot of both... plus a lot of opinion. Kind regards Nigel
