If so, a few questions: Do you (or rather, does your PC) have a public IP address? If not, then did you configure your router to port forward port 80 from its IP address (which is your public IP address) to your PC's (impliedly) local private address? And did you program your router's public IP address into the client as the IP address to connect to? Cheers, Walter
