The firewall in question here isn't a local firewall. It's a remote firewall, and the client is behind it. No telling what machines the firewall will allow connections to, what port numbers it might allow, and the protocols it might let through. Just about the only thing you can bank on is http over port 80 going out, and a result getting returned. Unless they have a caching proxy server. :) Andrew -- Andrew Bennett abennett@borland.com Due to my workload, personal email more than likely won't get a reply.
