Title: Head-banger problem
Post by: Flint G on January 10, 2013, 05:21:26 PM

I've got a perplexing issue that I'd like to track down:

An extremely simple NetTalk server runs on server A.  Custom application with NetTalk client runs on remote server B, and should talk to server A ... but doesn't.

Using a browser (Firefox, IE. etc) from server B, I can talk to NT server on server A.  But from my application on server B, I cannot get a response out of the NT server on server A.  It just times out (-53, Open timeout or failure error).

Curiously, I can use the very same application on my local workstation and talk to the NT server on server A just fine (browser works, too).

Where can I stick a trace message in my NT server to catch the absolute beginning of the request to see if my NT server is even getting a hit??  The log window shows nothing, of course; so the failure is earlier than that.  Using an older version of this same NT server it all works dandy, so I am certain the application is not at fault (but we need not waste any time with the old NT server).

Regards,
Flint

Sounds odd - there is a program called wireshark that might help.

Process method, before parent call, in WebServer procedure.
