Long Story

["Jon Paris" <Jon.Paris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 >> That's interesting    as I have had the opposite experience (though I
admit  I may be missing something besides the CODE help system).

I don't understand firewalls etc. but they do seem to figure in the picture
here.  When working from my home office via a DSL connection (and LinkSys
router) I can get autostart servers to work just fine.  STRCODE will not
work unless I open port 4200 on the firewall in the router.  I have made the
assumption (which seems to be born out by experiments that I and others have
made) that at least the LinkSys unit will allow inbound messages to a port
if that port (4200) initiated the conversation.  What it will not do is
accept incoming traffic on that port unless it is unlocked.

This has been my experience anyway - does it match yours?
