Thanks so much Sam - I didn't change the setup on AirPort Utility, I simply used those credentials to enter into the window I'd sent in the previous email. The reason I didn't think it would be that is because it knows the name of the server yet displayed Stephen, but I had to replace my name with the name of the server! I hadn't changed any of it anyway so why it was filling it in with bogus info I don't know!
Anyway, all sorted. :-) Cheers, Stephen "We are, by any honest assessment, a race of little children, running around the planet with far too much power and not nearly enough maturity.
