Try making an http call (using cfhttp) to the wsdl from your cfmx server. It will most likely be successful, but at least you could rule out the possibility of a connection problem.
The reason I say this is because the debugger is reporting that you _can_ create a connection to the gateway. It's just unable to find the web service on Ben's side. (I don't have the original email you sent with the netDebugger output, but I think that's what you were saying). So either it's not a remoting gateway issue, or netDebugger output is misleading. Most likely is the latter.

Now apparently I should see a blank screen if the gateway is functioning properly?? but if I can find out about those "flashgateway deployment files " I may be able to truly test Sean's approach.
