You found the problem I am afraid... which at least means I have to try another way to get the freaking winapp to work on a server that is not a domain controller. And once you know, OK way to go then I guess.
Still some outstanding queries: anyone knows how Ebox works w 1 interface in a LAN, assuming DNS and DHCP roles and forwarding DNS to an ISP box of some kind (router, adsl whatever)?
