msxml4.dll error '800c0005'

[dave755]

I am trying to POST a message to a CGI script that is running on my local machine.
The W2K-S/IIS server is on a separate machine.

When I am connected to the server on the local subnet (192.168.0.xxx), my ASP code works correctly. When I connect to the server using a dial-up connection to an external ISP, I get the 800c0005 error.

Here is the ASP code:

    Set objXMLhttp = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLhttp.4.0")
    response.write "Created...<br>"
    objXMLhttp.Open "POST", postURL, false
    response.write "Opened...<br>"
    objXMLhttp.Send postBody
    response.write "Sent...<br>"

Here is the response when I am connected by dial-up:

postURL= [URL unfurl="true"]http://notebook/HESCode/HACP.cgi[/URL]
postBody= ?command=GetParam&version=3.5&session_id=000020046AA&AICC_Data=""
Created...
Opened...

msxml4.dll error '800c0005' 

The system cannot locate the resource specified. 

/Launch.asp, line 89

Notice that the CGI script is referenced to my local machine and that the error happens on the "Send" line.

Any tips about how to fix this error would be most appreciated.

Thank you,
Dave

Surely you just need to host the CGI script on the external server and change the postURL line to point to that copy of the CGI script.
