I use a static IP 192.168.1.109
If I run (http://192.168.1.109:8086/?x10command=DEVICE~sendplc~"A1 ON") in Internet Explorer it works fine, if I have X10 Commander running.
If I shut down X10 Commander, i get the 404 page not found.
I've been trying different scripts, Java, PHP, VB. They all work without X10 Commander.
Is there a command that I could enter in IE other than above?
Is it a port number issue?
Is it that I'm Static?
I'm out of ideas. ???
Thanks in advance......

The reason it only works with X10commander running, is that X10commander is running a web server on port 8086. As soon as you shut that down, you can't send commands to it via a web browser.
The other scripting methods (javascript, PHP, VB) don't use X10Commander's sever, they talk directly to the AHP SDK components.
Unless you write yourself a server, you won't have another port to send those commands to from a browser.

I'm thinking about making a server. Any ideas how? ???

Here's the server.
Plans are to build a GUI for a user to choose a port number.
The files are server.exe and client.exe.
The server is set up on 192.168.1.104:8086
The client is just a small test for the server.
Start the server first, then the client.
In the client, you only need to type the house code, the unit number, and the command. A1 ON or a1 on, a1 off.
a1 dim 50, a1 bright 50....etc
Or you can use a browser.
You only need the server to run the X-10 Voice Commander.

To download the test client (Not needed for X10 V.C.) Click Here (http://wecometomy.com/client.exe)

I did a little change to the server. It will now display your IP. When you connect and send a command, it will show the time, date, IP, and the command sent.
Will be working on a test client for it soon.
