Hi,

I have this perl socket server which is working fine locally. I tried to connect to the socket server from a remote system, which failed.

Not sure if this is important info but the server is running on a linux os with apache and I tried to access the flash movie through http://my.ip.here/flashmovie.swf

The host in the flash movie and the perl script is both set to "localhost".

Everything is loading correctly except for connecting to the socket server.

In both the flash movie and the perl file I changed the host to my IP address but with these settings I couldn't connect locally.

Any ideas of what is going wrong?

regards,
Raoul
