Hi, I'm running two nodes, server and client. If I run my basexclient on the same network node as the server and do basexclient -c LIST I get name Resources Size Input Path ------------------------------------------------ dkcontent 290422 10716470599 /data-test/dk 1 Databases. which is correct. When I try to do it on my local machine I get Can't communicate with server. I'm on Windows, my server is on Redhat. My local windows .basex file is DBPATH = C:\Program Files\BaseX\data HTTPPATH = C:\Program Files\BaseX\http REPOPATH = C:\Program Files\BaseX\repo LANG = English LANGKEYS = false HOST = localhost PORT = 1984 SERVERHOST = xmldbtest02 SERVERPORT = 1984 EVENTPORT = 1985 HTTPPORT = 8984 STOPPORT = 8985 PROXYHOST = PROXYPORT = 80 NONPROXYHOSTS = TIMEOUT = 0 KEEPALIVE = 0 DEBUG = false PARALLEL = 8 When I do nmap -p 1984 -PN xmldbtest02.domain.com I get Starting Nmap 5.21 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2012-11-08 13:24 CET Nmap scan report for xmldbtest02.domain.com (10.223.101.59) Host is up (0.00064s latency). PORT STATE SERVICE 1984/tcp open bigbrother Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.07 seconds I've also tried with the ip address for the value of SERVERHOST in my configuration.
