Hi Bart,
Thanks for the response. I think that the server does have an internal and
external address. The mapserver installed on my serverer is reachable to WAN
only thru a proxy. As I mentioned, the mapserver is installed off of the
root in a directory simmilar to: /adirectory/anotherdirectory/ms4w. When a
request from WAN is made to the mapserver, a proxyserver directs it to
/adirectory/anotherdirectory, which is where I have
mapserver/apache/chameleon installed. 

>>If you view the HTML source of your application, what URL do the images

When I attempt to view the page from WAN
The images are referenced as:
https://myhttp.address.ca/chameleon//skins/default/images/a_pixel.gif

When I view the page from our LAN
The images are referenced as:
http://myLAN.address/chameleon//common//wrapper/drawmap.php?map_session_mode
=1&run_query=0&sid=4419b8d118a98&dummy=0.39865000+1142536402&UniqId=11425363
97803538

Both of the above noted URLs are what is returned when I query the
properties of the main map image via a right-mouse-click 

Any thoughts?

Thanks
Jeremy

Does your machine have an internal and external IP address?

If you view the HTML source of your application, what URL do the images 
reference?

Best regards,
Bart
