I do have dhcp provided by my router at the moment so there is another
IP assigned 192.168.0.185 on the internal network.  I'll change the
hosts entry, I wasn't too sure at the time if I should do it this way or
not.  I use this particular PC as a firewall and dhcp server, so it is
kind of on a network, the IP is assigned by my ISP dynamically, ergo my
confusion

Is there a way to modify the user name to lower case? Otherwise I'll
just add the same user with all lowercase and see how things go.  I had
thought briefly that this may be the issue but hadn't see anything.

Thanks again.
