I believe Cable and Wireless has a strong presence in Hong Kong. Bill Bill Patterson Florida

1911man, I understand what you mean by supporting 900 users but don't you think a better response than "we don't support" home networks to be something like "these are the brands and models that have worked with the Nortel VPN". I did not mention it buy I work for a regional...

One other note. My work PC and my home PC can now Ping each other. I enabled my work PC into a trusted zone on my Norton firewall. Thanks, Bill Bill Patterson Florida
