Was a bit of an odd one, I should have added some more info with the VPN connection etc... What it was; was that the PC was trying to dial in / connect to a certain default IP address, when it should have connected to another. Heaven knows why it chose this other IP address. I had to alter HOSTS an LMHOSTS in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC....

Cheers Happy
