Thanks Oliver, My server is 203.79.110.81, ISP is 203.96.152.4
I've played around with commenting out 'localhost' or local server but all options give me 'no devices available'. trying 'C:\sane\bin\xsane net:localhost (with 'localhost' enabled) gave me the response "Failed to open device 'net:localhost' Error during device I/O."
