Answer 1

 

 

can anyone give me a bit of a steer on this one?

 

much thanks!!!

Answer 2

Have you tried using IP address instead of name?

 

How about machine name instead of dns name?

 

Can you ping the various servers? 

 

Have you tried adding servers to Trusted sites in IE?  Local Intranet?

 

A bit more detail on the ip configuration & security setup may help.

 

cheers,
