Paul, that was terrific. Seems that the windows firewall blocks the broadcast stuff for services. After I disabled the thing, my service works again as intended! Have to add this to the notes of my software ;) Wonderful that my windows specific problem got solved in this Python group. Thanks again for all the ideas everyone for my silly offtopic problem. --Irmen -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
