Hi Dale, |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Your comment might actually indicate a problem with the DNS-server |
| 48 |
involved. Configuring the server(s) in the "hosts" file would be one |
| 49 |
solution. |

|
| 51 |
Mick, do you use IP-addresses or hostnames when you try to connect? |
| 52 |
If you are using hostnames, can you test with IP-addresses instead? |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Kind regards, |
| 55 |
