CK - BrowseMaster should work through a firewall, although I haven't tested it in that configuration yet. It doesn't work through a proxy server because I haven't implemented that functionality in my program yet. Do you have any links on how proxy's work? Once I understand that, I should be able to implement proxy server support, it's probably not very hard if I do it right. I'll also need some way to test it, too. BrowseMaster runs in the background, and all accesses to SI through my BrowseMaster program go through the BrowseMaster background task. The URL's for BrowseMaster point to the the hardware loopback address of 127.0.0.1, and I listen on port 3456 to avoid conflicts with a possible web server or other application running on the user's machine. Once the BrowseMaster program gets an HTTP request, it then processes it, or passes it through to SI. When it gets a response from SI, it then adds appropriate links or other HTML codes to the page before sending it back to the user's browser. Craig P. S. How much do you think GNET will buy me out for?
