Hi Matthew & Tom, It works! Matthew, I hadn't thought of that but I jumped over the mime-type header response you were looking for and went straight to ethereal/wireshark... I could see the entire conversation to the webserver. Every character of my telnet session was sent and ACKed but after the carriage return, one ACK was sent and then nothing else from either side. After this I went-on to Tom's suggestion. Adding the "Win32DisableAcceptEx" directive (on the top level of the apache config file) did the trick. After a restart of the server, everything started working just like it should. Thanks for the help!, - Gareth --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
