Hi Mickey, thanks for your answer but I might have been unclear: I want to attribute access rights to the server i.e. that only one particular client PC is allowed to connect. For example, in the server options dialog I can enter an IP address from which access is permitted e.g. "123.191.10.143" but e.g. "xyz.dyndns.org" does not work here. So I was wondering about another possibility.....
