Just to put some closer on this subject... Rich and I have discussed this problem through thouroughly and discovered that the sample HTTPServer project has a line (line number 130) which says "Binding.IP := '127.0.0.1'" and this IP address is what binds the server to be LAN only! Changing this to match your TRUE LAN IP enabled the Port Forwarding (NAT) rule to work.
It is solved :) Regards, Simon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rich Cooper" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Delphi-Talk Discussion List" <delphi-talk@elists.org> Sent: Thursday, June 29, 2006 7:36 PM Subject: Re: D7 with Indy 9 http server again > Rob Kennedy wrote: > > > 1.
