Mohan - Your posting quoted the client and server network addresses as 10.x.x.x . That's a private network space behind a NAT (Network Address Translation) router/switch. That kind of box is typically administered with much less discipline than a regular router/switch, given the "playpen" nature of the netspace behind it. You'll probably find that someone has been playing with its configuration, changing port filtering and the like. Richard Sims, BU
