when I set "CreateInternalWindow = 0" then it isn't possible to comunicate
with the server engine any more from the machine on which the server engine
resides, neither using "localhost:mydatabase" nor "servermachine:mydatabase"
(TCP/IP).

If you or other users can confirm that, then I propose to report it to the
devel-list as "unexpected behaviour" (or is it a real bug?).


With best regards,

Roland.
