Thanks Herman. It actually works now, although I haven't changed anything significant. I just log into the server (which can ping everything) and do an arp -a, see myproxy entry, and then I can ping from home (and more importantly, talk to the imap server in NY). I haven't had time to realy figure out why it now works as its been very busy here, but when I get a chance, I'll post what it was. Thanks again. Richard G.
