Ann, Janet and all,

If someone with this problem is willing to communicate by
telephone, (I'll pay for the call) during the hours of 9am
to 6pm GMT (British Time) we can compare settings.  I'm
running a Windows 2003 Server (SP1), with a mixture of XP
(SP2) Home and Professional workstations.

In order to compare "apples with apples" there are a few
basic requirements.

1)  Must someone there who has full administrator's system
rights.
2)  Ideally have access to both the Server and an adjacent
workstation.
3)  DBT 10.5 (SR1).

George.
