Hi,

Thanks for getting back on this...It was the firewall loading the local policy at boot time which is a reject by default..I had do a cpstart and then an unloadlocal and all seems to be ok now..I have disabled this option now via cpconfig...

>>When you connect with SmartDashboard, are you getting an immediate reject (GUI clients problem, or fwm not running) or a >>longer timeout (firewall problem).

Interesting to know.....Something new for me

Much appreciated
