Hi Steve. Thanks for your help on
this.
Do you have an idea what the CGI script is that
controls the IP address to be used?
Thanks again.

Well, you will probably have to inspect the CGI script that
handles /cgi-bin/ai to see why/if it is returning http://192.168.0.2 amongst its output
If
I were to guess, I'd say that the CGI script is trying to determine the
address of the server in order to generate URL's that refer to the server. If
it did this, then of course it would come up with 192.168.0.2 since that *is* the address of the
server.
If your CGI script is doing this then it would be far
better if it used relative URL's rather than fully-qualified ones.

Thanks for the reply. Thats the problem. The static Ip address is in
the
first two urls but the url flips to that of the router as soon as
a
booking request is made from the outside to the server behind the
router.
Any ideas how Apache being used with Windows XP can be
structured to
overcome this and retauin the static IP that you see in the
early screens
below? Is it a config problem; a router proble; or
what?
Any help gratefully received.
