>What the heck is a "Direct dial in on the lan???"
Please excuse the bad terminaology ;-) What I meant was we are able to connect to the resources of the LAN and Internet via a terminal server.It is a three port sonic pro that is connected to the LAN via a hub.Each port has a telephone line....

Very true! All accessing the server via the LAN from home or from another connection ( ISP) have the same problem. If one is to dial in the terminal server and then try to surf ouside the LAN to.. letsay Apple .com they might as well go each lunch and dinner before checking on the results.

My thoughts but I wanted to make sure since this is realy out of my box.
I will try to see what can be done Tuesday.I should have the county gurue there to see the problem.I would hate to think it is from the TF server or terminal server.

First thing Mon. Morning. I just will hate to lose a tele-line..but it isn't doing any-one any good right now is it ? That would certainly help debug the situation. By that I mean cutting off resource by resource till I can point a finger.
