It is definitely there. I would not even attempt to make a connection if
that was not there.

Yep that works no problem.

Nope not it. All servers are on the lan behind two consecutive
firewalls. So I pretty much trust each machine in the network and do not
have any filters or anything set to drop packets.

However I do use host.allow and deny mostly on the DB server. Although I
have a rule saying to allow all from my lan to connect to anything. I
also have one for the domain as well.

It may be that but I would really be surprised I will see if there is
anything in any of the system log files. Nope, nothing that leads me to
anything there.

At the moment I have the security manger disabled until I can find out
what the problem is so it's not that.

Keep em coming. :)
