Yep, sorry.



I meant BoundPort, just mixed it up in the post.

You are exactly right, it's working fine.



My Problem was a wrong assignment to the Port due to an input field,

i have used for the port assignment, which was unfortunately hidden

exactly under the one i though which was used ;)

May be a "copy&paste" accident.



Sorry for confusion and have great thanks for your efforts on helping me !
