after a big weekend - I have an amazon (FREE) server working- (anyone want a webinar) and have loaded net talk examples up to test that it works, and its great. They work like you would hope.
The public dns Amazon gave (for my instance) is ec2-52-10-164-215.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com which I mapped to www.escapepayroll.com
So then I copy the working folder from our office server to amazon - loading my host.exe and its folders / data etc - NOTE the server is not bound to an ip
After a few folder adjustments I get the static page to load using
www.escapepayroll.com, which the NT8 server sees as coming from ec2-52-10-164-215.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com (see image 2)
Image 1 is the page seen when called from
www.escapepayroll.com, it shows the redirection to the public dns from amazon (this is good)
Image 2 shows NT8 receiving this request and identifying the caller as ec2-52-10-164-215.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com NOT as
www.escapepayroll.comWHEN I use a sub domain to activate the Employee DLL "Emp.Dll" the server returns me the listing of "Browse Servers" like I had entered 127.0.0.1 locally - NOT a listing of employees like it does in the office.
So it looks like the cloud has taken our ability to determine the domain, so instead of using
* EMP.www.escapepayroll.com (which dosent work) I used
* EMP.ec2-52-10-164-215.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com which does not resolve - see image 3
The server view from amazon is image 4

Anyone had experience here to give a nod as to how to get the sub domain when using amazon ?
Thanks
