The client connects, but the firewall for one reason or another kills the connection. The TCP/IP stack then returns an error with no meaningful error code (since no real error has occurred). It's not actually that common, and the 100% cure is to uninstall the offending firewall/AV (firing off a complaint to the firewall manufacturer wouldn't go amiss either). I'm actually tracing all the information available.. there's nothing more to do, really, since it's not a cvs problem it's a firewall problem. Tony
