Hi Rob, Long time no see. Send me an email on my private email (below).
localhost should work fine. Ars you setting the server port in the perl script? Try export ARTCPPORT=3311 and then your perl script. If that works than you haven't called the ARSetServerPort f(). There will be an ARSperl equivalent f(). Do this right after ARInitialization - before any REAL f(). As far as I know, when you do a listen on a port on a "machine" that listen should work on all interfaces of that machine. ARS Server has no configuration for which IP/IF it will listen on and any IP used will connect to the server. Cheers Ben Chernys Senior Software Architect Software Tool House Inc.

Now I can no longer (using arsperl "ars_Login()") get an API connection to "localhost". If I explicitly use the network-name of the system I can establish a connection. Has anyone else seen this? We always configure ars to use a specific port (3311), and a telnet to this port is successful, which indicates that the connection is getting as far as the application-level. Most network-applications I've seen explicitly provide a configuration parameter to control which interfaces an application will "listen" on. I know of no such parameter for ars. Any ideas?
