<p>Dear all,</p>
<p>still about the connection problem previously described, I think the key is at line 294 of indiserver.c:</p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier 10 Pitch">serv_socket.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl (INADDR_LOOPBACK);</span></p>
<p></p>
<p>for the little I know this line, together with the following "bind" forces the server accepting connections only from local addresses.</p>
<p>Shouldn't it be changed into</p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Courier 10 Pitch">serv_socket.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl (INADDR_ANY);</span></p>
<p></p>
<p>to allow connection from any host?</p>
<p></p>
