If I may so rudely top post ;)

Thanks for the notes. I'm just back from a graduation and
catching up.

I notice when I ran the government forms from the URL
you provided, that I get the "Connection refused: connect"
error. In the stack trace ("Details") I see that error
occurred on the XML element:

<xforms:instance id="resources-instance"
src="/forms/service/resources/DMV-14/en" xxforms:readonly="false"/>

and that the Resource URL is

http://kantoor.rosado.nl:8080/orbeon/forms/service/resources/DMV-14/en

and that the Description of the error is:

reading external instance dispatching XForms event
event → xforms-link-exception target id → resources-model
dispatching XForms event event → xforms-model-construct
target id → resources-model initializing XForms containing document

So it seems that that the server, when attempting to
initialize the XForms model, was unable to connect on
the url above, which initially, I would say means the
server cannot connect to "itself." That is, the
model construct is performed on the server, not on
the client, although I notice that the server does
not attempt to connect to "localhost"

I suspect, that when you connect to the server from
your intranet, the Resource URL is http://192.168.....

As a "work around" would you try putting the full
intranet url in the src attribute:

<xforms:instance
id="resources-instance"
src="http://localhost:8080/forms/service/resources/DMV-14/en"
xxforms:readonly="false"/>

Cheers,
Hank
