Hi Hank,

Thanx for your suggestions.
The situation is as follows:

At the client I have a win2k3 server where I installed tomcat 5.5 and orbeon. Servers name is Orion.
On the internal network (192.168.10.*) everybody (about 25 PCs) can run all the examples (http://orion:8080/orbeon/xforms-calculator, etc.) plus some stuff I am developing for them.
On this intranet they can also run the bookcast example and the government forms.
I can also see the forms we are developing in Forms Builder (on any pc in the network), etc.

This office also has an external address in DNS, that points to the office, and the 8080 port is routed to Orion (the Trend Micro anti-virus firewall passes port 8080 too, etc.)
From the outside I can reach this server, and can run almost all the examples (apart from government forms, forms builder, xforms-controls, sandboxes).

I simulated this situation so that you could also check it if you want:

I installed a server at my office (in this case a Win XP Pro pc) with orbeon. Internally we can all run everything. If you would run from an external PC you will get the orbeon error screen. It would be nice if you would not get it, then I would know that my own PC is not OK... ;-))

Please try: http://kantoor.rosado.nl:8080/orbeon/

I will keep you informed, and will share a solution if I find some.

Cheers,
Rui

Do you log in through a VPN or desktop sharing software? Does this
mean that the server is only available on your intranet?

This should only be an issue if a router or firewall is configured to
open or block the port, but not on the software.

I think I need a hint about how your network is configured, and
if the server has a public IP address.

Cheers,
Hank
