Thanks Jim, I honestly don't think links translation is installed. I am not sure exactly what links translation is, however. I searched this morning but could not come up with a definitive answer. On the external interface the only component selected is tcpip, on the internal interface the option selected are tcpip, file and print sharing and the microsoft client for windows networks. I have uninstalled nav corporate, sql7.0 is installed but not running, no other software is installed and there is no advanced networking options selected like internet connection sharing. Thanks for your advice. Shane --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.483 / Virus Database: 279 - Release Date: 5/19/2003
