And here lies the crux of it. If you have Microsoft Proxy server installed with Proxy client on each of the machines, the Proxy client hooks into the IP stack of the client machine. I've never looked into it in any depth, but this may be what is causing your headaches. The solution is either to set up the proxy server to proxy HTTP properly, install a different Proxy software on there (try Wingate), or alternatively, install FreeBSD and squid on there. :) Cheers, Aled. -- Aled Treharne - Network Operations - Mistral Internet Tel: 0870 751 6300 Fax: 0870 751 6399 http://www.mistral.net Statements made are at all times subject to Mistral's Terms and Conditions of Business, which are available upon request.
