Hi, Did someone mention this syndrome at the last LUV meeting or maybe the one before? Or perhaps it was in a post to the list? Anyway, I had a problem like that on Experts Exchange and eventually the guy solved it himself - there was another system on the network with the same IP address. Hope this helps someone, Cheers ...
