Hi Jane,

We don't have firewall inasmuch as I can ping the gateways included in the
seed file manually, both through netview utility and CLI.
The tracert works fine and we don't have routing problems.

We are almost formatting the HD and reinstalling everything in order to
solve this problem...

Do you have firewalls in the way??  Have you tried using tracert to see 
what happens to packets?  Do you have routing problems?

Cheers,
Jane
