I identified the problem: I have gobby *and* gobby-0.5 installed and I was executing the `gobby` command (I just forgot that the old version grabs the gobby command and the new version has a different binary name). Works fine when executing gobby-0.5. The error message of gobby (!= gobby-0.5) when connecting to an infinote(-only) gobby server could be better than showing a confusing "Host not found"[1]. ;) Sorry for the confusion - so it works fine also from the outside network once you're aware that it's not necessarily enough to have gobby-0.5/gobby-infinote installed but also have to execute gobby-0.5. :) Thanks! [1] At least it wasn't only me who stumbled into this trap - I asked around before reporting and I even was aware of your infinote hint. ;) regards, -mika-
