Thanks for the reply Jonathan - and a happy new year to you!
I have gone into the setup as you suggested to a couple of other people and
have set up a messenger service to use the 10 ports you mention - 6891-6900.
All now seems to be working fine! Is that the correct thing to have done?
Thanks again,
Adrian
