sounds like a firewall blocking it, to me. Either on the laptop or on the through-gateway. router access-lists, xp ip security filters, norton, blackice defender, etc.. Might as well, also, try telnetting to the virtual ip (not the hostname) on 110. (yeah, i know the ping and nslookup worked for the hostname, but ya never know, and i never trust a forward DNS resolution for debugging). --Tony .-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-.
