Thanks for your reply. I can access my web server from "outside". My web server error log shows doesn't indicate any errors. And on the "inside", the FP client works fine which leads me to believe that my .htaccess, httpd.conf, and whatever other access files FP uses are configured correctly. The only thing that doesn't work is connecting with an FP client on the "outside". I'm using the FP 2000 v1.2 extensions (the latest available from MS). Any other ideas?
