Hi Nick,
Answering your questions:
1. why 2.0.50??????
That is the recommended version of the current application we
are using is running on :(.
Thanks for pointing out the security aspect of it.
Ok, I got the definition of reverse and forward wrong :)
But still my original problem remains.....

If that's open to the outside, it's a serious security hole.
