With my "new" server, a fresh install of 7.3 on a new harddrive - everything has worked perfectly overnight. This means that it MUST be something that I did to my old setup. I don't remember changing anything, but it must be on that OLD setup.
Thanks for all your help - I will try and get the data from the "old" hard drive and carry on with with my "new" install.
Thanks for all the information / help
