Run tcpdump on the apache server while sending the connection requests and see if the connection attempts show up at all. If they do not, then it's a network problem. -- Ryan Manikowski ]] Devision Media Services LLC [[ www.devision.us ryan at devision.us | 716.771.2282 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
