The server is running with Apache's privileges in both the local and remote cases. This applies to all the system config checks you suggested too (but I checked them anyway). Finally, I tried running a version of the client I built using gSoap on both the local machine and on another machine on my network, and it worked from both places. Interestingly, the HTTP header produced by the gSoap client looks a lot like the header produced by the www.soapclient.com client (the remote client that fails), except for the order of things and the fact that www.soapclient.com uses HTTP/1.0. Here's what the gSOAP client produces (which works locally and remotely): POST /axis/HUB_TO_HUB HTTP/1.1 Host: 172.16.48.246 User-Agent: gSOAP/2.7 Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: 598 Connection: close SOAPAction: "HUB_TO_HUB#HUB_Request" <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:ns1="http://www.ebizformedia.com/hub";> <SOAP-ENV:Body> <ns1:Hub_Request> <ns1:TO_TP>A</ns1:TO_TP> <ns1:FROM_TP>B</ns1:FROM_TP> <ns1:TO_HUB>C</ns1:TO_HUB> <ns1:FROM_HUB>E</ns1:FROM_HUB> <ns1:UID>F</ns1:UID> <ns1:APIKEY>G</ns1:APIKEY> <ns1:ROUTING>not supported</ns1:ROUTING> </ns1:Hub_Request> </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope> And here's what www.soapclient.com produces (which doesn't work remotely): POST /axis/HUB_T0_HUB HTTP/1.0 User-Agent: SQLData Client/3.02 Host: 156.43.4.68:80 Connection: Close Accept: */* Content-Length: 964 SOAPAction: "HUB_TO_HUB#HUB_Request" Content-Type: text/xml; charset="utf-8" <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; xmlns:http="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/http/"; xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"; xmlns:s="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"; xmlns:tns="http://www.ebizformedia.com/hub"; xmlns:tm="http://microsoft.com/wsdl/mime/textMatching/"; xmlns:mime="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/mime/"; xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";.> <SOAP-ENV:Body> <tns:Hub_Request.xmlns:tns="http://www.ebizformedia.com/hub";> <tns:TO_TP>AAA</tns:TO_TP> <tns:FROM_TP>BBB</tns:FROM_TP> <tns:TO_HUB>CCC</tns:TO_HUB> <tns:FROM_HUB>DDD</tns:FROM_HUB> <tns:UID></tns:UID> <tns:APIKEY>FFF</tns:APIKEY> <tns:ROUTING>GGG</tns:ROUTING> <tns:MESSAGE></tns:MESSAGE> </tns:Hub_Request> </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAPENV:Envelope> R o b Y a m p o l s k y Harris Corporation, BCD (212) 303 4250
