Thanks again Steve.
Yes this is where our CGI scripts are stored. But,
do you have some ideas on the CGI script we can use to instruct Apache on the IP
address to be used, namely not to use the Router IP but to use the static IP
address of the server?

That depends on how your apache is configured. I could
make guesses, but that's all they would be.
Look in the configuration of
your apache and see if you can find a like similar to this:
ScriptAlias
/cgi-bin/ "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/cgi-bin/"
This defines where on your system your CGI scripts are
stored.
(there's my first guess - that your apache is running under
Windows!)

Re: [users@httpd] Apache and router
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.
