Joe: you also got this right.
Long story short, the ISP deleted the old account and we set it up again and everything now works just fine.
It's a long weekend here, and sensible advice is very thin on the ground. It speaks volumes for this little community (PPOT) that I was able to sort out this very annoying problem by seeking advice from the people on this board. Thank you again!
Scott - I owe you.
Cheers, Mark
PS: And I'm sorry to have to disappoint those of you who thought this was a Mac problem. ;-)

Glad it worked out Mark.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Scott
