Sockets: code works locally but fails over LAN

Thank you all for your replies!

repr() is not what I need (currently).
I'd better like to see the pure text of "talkings" between VBS and SQL
Server.

Jp, thank you very much for the links!
I just oblige to test this Twisted stuff, but I'm afraid it's a bit
above my head
so far.
And, frankly speaking, above all I'd like to understand why my code
only works
locally... I wish it did not work AT ALL. Sure you understand what I
mean. :)
