Cheeeersss!!!!! Mikko you are the best :D... it works!
I registered a hostname from dyndns for my wan ip and added my <local server ip - dns hostname> reference to my hosts file as you said. Now I can pass authentication on client screen. However this time my connection drops during handshaking phase... I get an "Unable to connect. Login message never received by the server" message... It may be a time out issue as my adsl connection on both server and client is slow. Or there is a problem with my region xml configuration. I ll check it out. Any other reasons which may cause this message? And Mikko thanks a lot... I was about to lose hope :) Best, Ates On 8 Ocak, 09:48, Mikko Pallari <mikko.pall...@evocativi.com> wrote: > That message is inside ModreX AuthenticationService class. > > It occurs when something goes wrong when making a XMLRPC-request to remote > server.
