You've almost certainly specifically configured Mercury32 to only listen on the 192.168.0.101 IP address. I believe this field is referenced as 'IP interface to use'. I also believe that if you leave that field blank, it will listen on all IP addresses bound to the machine, including 127.0.0.1. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
