>>>I'm almost certain the problem I'm having has something to do with getting the web services request back through our (brick) firewall. When I run a simple little program to access info from a Web Service, after anywhere between 20 and 45 seconds, I get an OLE error - Unknown COM Status code.

I'd be interested to see if you get the same COM error from work. If you would like to try it, email me at edelay@levelextreme.com and I will reply with the EXE and/or source code.
