        Way-hey! A fellow Kiwi! Awesome!

                Didn't even know AT&T operated a Kiwi branch.

        So far, all machines used were Win2k-pro based, except for my mate's test 
machine he set up, which was Win98 - connecting to his machine worked fine.

        Thought that might be it too, but the prob cropped up BEFORE the Blaster was 
public knowledge.

        Have not applied the Blaster patch, since Port 135 was locked ages back.

        We run a LINUX-based webserver, but that has no connection to the work PC.

        Due to the varied software we run, we can't go LINUX way, more's the pity.

        But cheers anyways!
