This seems like almost a firewall problem. Are you running the default Xindice servlet? If so, can you point your browser at http://www.hostname.com:portnr/xindice/db and get access to the ugly browser tool? I think I am going to need a better understanding of your network setup (firewall, etc.) in order to be of much help. I run a Xindice servlet on both Windows/2000 Professional and Fedora Core 3 under Tomcat 5.0.28. One of the nice things about this environment is that the operating system doesn't matter. ----- /mde/ just my two cents . . . .
