thanks, we have done that and will test it in a few hours. I will respond back if it works.
when we set it in netbeans we got set remote address to (10.17.43.2) which i am going to assume is correct?

also...
using command prompt and the ipconfig command,

we have the:
IPv4 - 10.10.12.154
subnet - 255.255.0.0
default gateway 10.10.0.1

we are team 1743 so i know it should read (10.17.43.6) there...

but i am unaware of what it should correctly read.... Can someone post up an accurate example of exactly how it should be?
