Thanks. I was getting a "could not bind to port" message when I put the servers public IP address in there. Sorry, I know what localhost means I just thought declaring it here would mean that the receiver would bind to the port on the local machine and then be accessible remotely. It appears this is not the case. My mistake. I was just informed offline that 0.0.0.0 would work for me as this will bind the receiver to all interfaces. Looking forward to trying this when I get back to my desk! :) Thanks!
