Paul,

I haven't had this problem before, but I would have to at least guess that the problem is with the wireless router. 
Maybe it is filtering traffic or causing some other problem. If you haven't done so already, try connecting the pc 
directly to the dsl and see if that makes a difference or forward all ports to the computer connected to the router. 
Hope this helps.

Jeff

but I'm getting desperate!

We have set up a VPN and it seems to work fine everyone can log on and move
around the network and send and receive email.

One person though... on a DSL using PPPoE can not send e-mail. we have
tried
everything... has anyone run into this problem?

the user is on a Windows XP laptop connected to a Linksys wireless router
(Using PPPoE). and Outlook for E-mail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

Paul
