Hi
To make it clear
Client on Computer 1 can connect to server on Computer 2 (running as a
service).
Client on Computer 1 can connect to server on Computer 2 (running as a
Normal windows Application).
Client on Computer 2 CANNOT connect to server on Computer 1 (running as a
service).
Client on Computer 2 can connect to server on Computer 1 (running as a
Normal windows Application).
the last sentence rules out anything to do with the firewall or router.....
thanks
Terry
