>I guess the other thread I started was too involved ( message #024376 ) so I just have one pressing question for now. How can I communicate with a port on another box on a network? If I'm running from a client workstation, how can I get to a port on a server?

Are you talking about port forwarding? From my limited understanding, what you need to do is configure a port on the router of the destination network to point to a specific IP address on the network. Then you would access that machine using the following ip address syntax: 999.999.999.999:1111 with the 1's being the port #.
