Hi Klaus It's probably something blocking it somewhere. Windows has so many layers of security stuff.
A couple of suggestions. 1. is it happening for all URLs? 2. from the AOLserver box, can you connect to the URL via a telnet session? E.g telnet open aolserver.com 80 GET / 3. In the OpenACS Developer shell, try connecting using ns_sockopen $host $port 4. ns_httpget isn't too complicated, so you could try debugging it, or running some of its commands manually. You'll find the source in a file called modules/tcl/http.tcl in your AOLserer installation. 5. Some good advice here on Windows issues http://www.windowslinuxosx.com/q/answers-cannot-connect-to-telnet-server-231136.html cheers!

It had been made sure that all services are allowed to access the internet. Any ideas what else we should check? Thanks for your help!
