  1. Hello Pete,

    192.168.15.255 is a subnet mask. BTW, this pointed a discrepancy between PC's. A long time ago, I switched ADER to a fix IP address instead of using DHCP. I have a local DHCP server (and other services as well) running in a Linux box. This DHCP server allocates always the same specific address by looking at the MAC address. So, 192.168.2.7 was correct but not the subnet mask. Now, both PC's have 192.168.2.255 as subnet mask.

    I tried again without the ServerName parameter but no luck. This was not the problem. You say that Mailslot Protocol should use port 9002 instead of 138. I guess I have to find why this not the case. I used default INI files without modification, exception of ServerName and Protocol.

  2. Hello Pete,

    I added the following lines into WideClient.ini [Config] and the connection is working :)

    ServerName=Ader

    Although, I don't know why SMB MailSlot Protocol is not working. Workgroups are the same, folder sharing over the network is working. You can download a Wireshark snapshot for investigation if useful.

  3. Hello,

    I use FS2004 with FSUIPC v3.98, WinXPpro SP2 on a desktop PC. I recently added WideFS v6.78 in order to use FS utilities from a laptop with WinXPpro SP3. I followed the book for installation and all is OK from server side. The problem is on client side.

    I monitored frames using Wireshark. I can see from client side incoming SMB Mailslot Protocol frames from server.

    Mailslot Name: \MAILSLOT\MS_WideServer

    When I run WideClient on the laptop, there is no outgoing frames at all. Client is waiting for connection.

    WideClient FS98 Eliminator - Waiting for a connection

    ********* WideClient Log [version 6.78] Class=FS98MAIN *********

        90593 ********* Log file closed (Buffers: MaxUsed 0, Alloc 0 Freed 0 Refused 0) *********
    

    The question is why WideClient not sending frames ?

    I added ServerIPAddr with IP address of server into WideClient.ini with no success, still no outgoing frames.

    Is there a XP SP3 incompatibility ?

    Regards

    Gerard
