If you'll contact me off list w/more specifics about your problem,
perhaps I can help. This was not specific enough to give any sort of
intelligent advice, assuming that were possible for me to begin with.

I need all computer(s) specs, operating systems including versions, &
specifics regarding the problem you're having. Since u refer to a
network issue, then I also need to know how the network is connected,
versions of antivirus, antispyware, & any firewalls you're running. Be
prepared to spend some time writing that.

But let's take it off list.
