Hey Pete, After checking the Firewall, I found the wrong setting :oops:. Thanks for your help anyway. Greatly appreciate it. Regards, Mark

Hi Pete, Thanks for the ultra quick response. I didn't expect that. Well, I actually read the documentation regarding the ini file. I was just hoping that it might help. BTW. The IP address is the IP address of the client PC. So, basically, I tried it with a default ini as well. No luck. Regarding the proper network connection, I have to say that I can connect to the internet, I can connect to my NAS server and I can even ping my second PC running the WideFS client. So, I am still pretty clueless about what to do. Will do some more research. Regards, Mark

Hi Pete, Hopefully, you can help me with some problems I am facing with WideFS. Unfortunately, I had to reinstall FS9 because of Vista SP1. Performance went down the drain and I clearly identified SP1 as the cause. Now, after reinstalling my entire PC (without SP1), I am facing problems with WideFS. I worked before :?. OK, here is what happens. When I start FS (created a new flight), I get the following message once FS is running for a few seconds: Server bind() failed [Error=10022] Invalid argument. The logs show the following errors: WiderServer.log ********* WideServer.DLL Log [version 6.75] ********* Blocksize guide = 4096 (double allowed) Date (dmy): 05/04/08, Time 22:03:40.269: Server name is FSBOX 28658 Initialising TCP/IP server 29453 Server listen() failed all attempts [Error=0] 29469 Failed to start TCP/IP Server 29469 Initialising IPX/SPX server 29469 IPX/SPX socket() failed [Error=10044] Socket type not supported 29469 Failed to start IPX/SPX Server 29469 Initialising UDP/IP server 68297 Server bind() failed [Error=10022] Invalid argument 68297 Failed to start UDP/IP Server 68485 Broadcasting service every 1000 mSecs 77923 Closing down now ...
