Sorry, but that's good news *g* Nevertheless ... AS it act's as a gateway to other clients have you tried sending a mail from one of the client using your computer as gateway? Does the same limitation apply on connections established by a client in your LAN? An other thing you can try out is uploading a e.g. 10K file via FTP to any server. Is this restricted by this mysterious limitation too? The last thing I'm able to suggest is using a network sniffer. At [1] you are able to find the windows port of a great graphical tool called 'Ethereal'. The download site for windows binaries is [2], the direct download URL is [3]. You'll need pcap-drivers too, they're located here: [4], direct download URL is [5]. If you're done with installing and reboot start Ethereal, start a capturing and tell The Bat! to send a mail smaller than 1.4K. Save the captured data. Start a new capturing and tell The Bat! to send a mail bigger than 1.4K. Save this data too. Try to find out what's happening with the connection by analyzing the saved data and comparing them. A usefull function in Ethereal is "Tools" / "Follow TCP Stream", this outputs nearly clear text. If you can't find anything we'll need to find a way how you can send this data to me (if you don't mind me having a look at them :-]). Of course there's still the possibility to re-install W2K from scratch if you think it's not worth the effort you'll have to do with Ethereal, but I've no idea what setting in your W2K is causing your trouble, so chances are there you'll getting the same problem again after a fresh installation.
