Are you sure you don't have two copies of the poker server running at the same time? Almost sounds like you are connecting to one and checking the other.
There are two IP adddresses in the PM Server, one for internet IP, and the other is the game server IP, which I can connect to and play. From everything I have read I should be using the game server IP
If you're on a remote VPS then the Internet IP and Local IP should be the same. It's only on a residential account behind a router where the Local IP would be different (e.g., 192.168.1.*).

API document would not load as a docx, and tried everything else. The scripts are intact as provided by the download of php files in your support site, I have made only the the following edits:

API.PHP
$url = "http://192.168.2.2:8087/api"; // <-- use your game server IP
$pw = "Ha77y2008"; // <-- use your api password

LOGIN.htm
<form method="post" action="http://192.168.2.2:8087?sitepassword="3edcvfr4" " target="_blank">

NewAcct.PHP
$avatarurl = "http://192.168.2.2:8087/avatar/"; // set your url here


Once I have these wotking correctly, I'lll change password and use security "include" statement in the API.PHP file. Thanks for looking at this for me.

I am using a wireless router.

You can email it to me. No need to post confidential data here publicly.
$url = "http://192.168.2.2:8087/api"; // <-- use your game server IP
This is a local area network IP. On what machine is your PHP code running? Is it also on your local network?

I have a laptop with PM Pro on it, and uses a wireless connection through a router. I also have a desktop unit with PM Pro on it, and it has a ethernet connection through the router as well. I just switched to the desktop unit as the game server and changed scripts to reflect the new server IP, which is running by itself. I am not running two servers at the same tie. Results are the same.

I apologize, I misread your post asking where I was running the PHP from, I am using my web site on a shared windows ASP.NET server: http://stetsonmgtsolutions.com

Ok, that's explains the connection problem. An external computer cannot connect directly to your local computer IPs. The numbers that start with 192.168.*.* are assigned by your local router to your local PCs. You have to use your Internet IP in your PHP scripts. Double-click the "Internet IP Address" setting in the Site Information group on Poker Maven's System tab. Then click the Lookup button. The IP it shows along with your File Port (8087) is what you use. And finally, you have to setup port forwarding in your router (file and packet ports) to let the outside world in and to tell it which local computer to connect to. Have you already done the port forwarding? Can anyone on the outside log into site?

I cannot connect using the Internet IP after lookup. Not sure how to configure port forwarding...as far as I know no one can connect, as I have not opened this to my users yet.

Your router is a hardware firewall that automatically blocks all incoming connections. The exact steps for port forwarding depend on your particular router. See "Firewalls and Routers" in the Technical Information section of the Poker Mavens help file. It's also online here:
