Hi

Using XmlSocket.Connect method I can only connect to localhost or 127.0.0.1

I can’t connect to any remote servers or even with the name or ip address of local system specified

socket.connect(“localhost”,7777); //Works

socket.connect( “UX” , 7777); // Doesn’t work… .UX is the name of the local server

socket.connect(“192.168.0.11”,7777); //this is also not works

Can you help me?

Thank you  
Fadi
