Given that I am doing this testing from the server itself, yes it knows
how to resolve its own name - evidenced by the initial error message
showing the IP address.

I'll try changing the IP to 127... when I'm back in work tomorrow.

I'm at home now unfortunately so I can't try your suggestion at the moment.

Will let you know how it goes.

Cheers,
Paul.
