I opened port 7968 (tcp) on both machines in the windows firewall but it still wouldn't work until I re-booted both machines (I was only re-booting the client previously).

I tried that (including rebooting both server and client) - still had the problem... So I looked in the logs on the client (where would we be without the logs - thanks sub) and found that when GBPVRTray started up, it couldn't find the database on the server. So I closed down GBPVRTray and restarted it and all is now well.
Problem is that when I boot up the laptop, GBPVRTray starts before my wireless connection does. I know the reason for this though - I'm making major changes to my network topology - two wireless routers currently active - takes some time to get correct connection. Problem will go once I get round to fixing the network.

Thanks for that... I use the excellent WinPatrol which allows startups to be delayed... If it doesn't settle down after network changes are complete and the new SBS2003 machine is in charge, that's exactly what I'll be doing...
