Agree totally about the conflicting advice, but then folks are trying to be helpful and everyone has different setups/ configurations so what works for one person may not work for another. I tried disabling firewalls but that did not help. What bugs me is that in the end it will be something totally trivial ie 'tick in a box' somewhere.

Anyway, you are up running so all the best. What we need is a smily for "smug self-satisfaction". The less IT literate amongst us would all use that when we had achieved some technological miracle - even if we did not really understand what or why. Cheers
