Serge,
Thanks for this. I was also working on the same hunch, my helloname wasn't valid as a
domain-name, but when I fixed it, this didn't help. I haven't had time to track it
much further, but initial results gave the impression that it was ignoring my
helloname and using localhost. As JAMES is running on a multihoming machine behind a
NATed firewall, I suspect that localhost may become unhelpful. Anyway, as you say,
I'll try to intercept the negotiation and see what is actually being 'said'!
Cheers,
Stuart.
