thanks, I asked the contractor and he said he didn't know of any blocking going on. I've read in another post where they wanted their system info. My info is below. As I said in my first post I've already added the ports 6346. I tried the 6346 test page and get cannot find server. What are all the port #'s I could try.I tried the jar program with no success. Are there any more steps I can try on my end to see if I can get it going. thanks in advance
