Thanks for the heads up on the SQL password, i'll make sure to change it, although its on a local network only. I am using the WOTLK branch (is that what you're asking?) I've tried disabling the windows firewall all together to see if it was blocking any ports. I've tried several ports with the same results. I've attached a wireshark capture, you can see the request comes into the machine running soap, but no ack is made.
