Hoping to thank you later. We have a vb6 on XP application and are going crazy trying to get it to run on VISTA. As part of the install process we have to phone home to pass information to our server and get responses back (for example, "is this computer already registered on the server", Return true of false and then do something).

Getting something returned isn't happening and we think that your thread is pertinent. It is, right?????

Just a little more rope and I will have enough to really mess things up.
