They could check with their DSL provider to find if they're blocking file transfer programs due to the traffic they generate.

If they are truely networked and not just through a hub like I do, yes, the network can cause problems. Best results with a network is using the "server" computer. Seems the extra link...DSL to Server to Slave computer causes problems. I just bought a 4 port hub and connect both computers to it and the hub to the modem rather than network the 2 computers.
mike, they seem pretty new, so i don't think they are into all the open nap servers and lists.
i have copied and pasted your post and emailed it to them, to see if they can ponder your ideas and see if it helps. i want to get them on icq or something so i can ask more questions.

thanks!!!!!!!!!!
