Thanks and your right Jeffery, but our Server is OpenVMS and we don't have any Server side firewalls installed. So I would need to check if there is a FW SW for OpenVMS. Josef

If you have access to the server, you can configure a local firewall. Both Windows and Linux have built-in firewalls, and generally they are already active, but you may need to turn them on if they are disabled, and they will need to be configured to open and close port 8080.
