Bill, That looks like a port number. Telnet defaults to 23, not 21. 25 is email SMTP. 21 sounds familiar, but ...
What is your app trying to do over the internet? Can you test it as an intranet, so you can have the server at the same location as you. Maybe you could trace on the server side to see what is or is not connecting. PS - I am assuming you are familiar with TCP/IP and that it requires an address like 192.168.0.2 and a port, like 80. Both the sender and receiver of a packet must have an address and port. Senders usually pick an arbitrary port number, receivers almost always work on a specific port, like 80 is for HTTP requests. If you are not familiar with this concept, stop programming and do some TCP/IP reading. There are many tutorials posted on the web (FREE Education). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Gary Gorsline Easy Business Software ========================== End of Message ========================== ----- Original Message ----- From: "bill" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Palm Developer Forum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, February 15, 2002 1:14 PM Subject: Re: Pose and netlib > > I'm not using DNS, I am using the IP addresses.
