Try to use alias="msa.banfoo.com" (in global configuration parameters section) and "if(uri==myself)" instead of "if (uri==msa.banfoo.com)". If doesn't help, we need to know the final response you get from SER, is it Time out?

Thanks, The alias didnt fix my problem.

Im not sure but it seems with the config I had sent earlier, ser is not running, when I start it and do a "msa# ps ax | grep ser " I don't get any instances of SER running, which is always the case when Im running on the default configuration. The only changes I make are enabling the mysql module and the parameters that go with it. when I run it on debug I can't see anything that would probably cause a problem. the database opens successfully all the modules load. My config looks like the following, oh Im running this on freebsd 4.10 stable, and mysql V.5

let me know if you see anythingi should have a look at.
