Here's the short (connector) side. This is from the sAccept example, with only the obvious items changed to match my LAN. I changed only the matching simple entries in the "listener" script, and it doesn't do *anything*. Any suggestions?
;;;The CONNECTER script AddExtender("wwwsk34I.dll") while 1 what=AskLine("Connecter","Enter TIME or QUOTE to get information from listener","time") talksocket=sOpen() ret=sConnect(talksocket,"100.100.100.10","1001") sSendLine(talksocket,what) response=sRecvLine(talksocket,555) sClose(talksocket) Message(what,response) endwhile
In other words, the IP address has to be name served for this function to work.
I tried to make the things work in such environment: listener put on a PC with a public address and the caller on a dial up connection. Unfortunately the whole thing didn't work, but it did simulating the caller with Telnet.
Would anyone like to help me out with some tips?

In addition, whether you specify computer name (abc.xxx.com) or IP address, the computer MUST be DNS Servered. So for exapmle if you open a DOS box and type
ping -a 111.222.333.444 (use your IP Address)it MUST resolve to a computer name and not just show the IP address.
