Hi - a couple questions: 1. I have found a core dump on both Windows and Mac OSX - I have a function that parses up a file - the first parameter to the function takes a block of lines. If I read the contents from a file on disc (read/lines %test.txt) then things are fine, but when I read from

They do database reads mostly. The firewall is set up to allow incoming and outgoing connections on the ports I need. For instance "r: open tcp://ip-address:8001" works. But if I do this: server: context get-rugby-service tcp://ip-address:8001 and then try something like t: server/probe-mes

2003-10-28 Thread Maarten Koopmans
Matt, What do your server functions do? It sounds like your firewall prevents accessing the business logic here, i.e. this is a network problem. You can have a Rugby server running on one ip address when it's a dual network-card server, that's what most people would do. Then allow incoming calls
