problems with sockets on panther

[Dar Scott]

I usually use "after" instead of "before" so I can get a chronological 
log.

I added some lines to check for errors.  Maybe that will help.

    close socket RemoteIP  -- It should be OK to simply let the other 
end close, though.

If webConnect is really called, then you should see the opensockets.  
It should include the accept port, the client end and the server end.

You don't show the closing.  You might have errors because you are 
already open.

Try the loopback IP address:  127.0.0.1
