Of course I don't mind quoting me. But perhaps I should test it a little more before you may add it to the documentation. I'll try it with several addons this day and give you a notice here.

Short addition: I found a hint that the automatic network configuration of windows XP can cause problems with timing. The service searches automatically for new wireless networks. While doing this the current connection is stopped for about 1.5 seconds. I don't know how often the service stopps the connection but there are some tools (I tried WirelessZeroShutdown by http://www.elligs.net) which cut-off the service after the system boot. I tried this tool and behold it seems to work quit fine now. The client.log does not show any disconnects and weather update runs smoothly. Hopefully this may be a proper solution... just to let you know :wink:

Hello Pete, thank you very much for the fast and comprehensive answer. I already guessed that the Network itself would be the problem. Nevertheless I hoped there would be a hint or workaround regarding timing settings or similar. Seems that I musst handle it in any other way... perhaps the "20 meter wireless-cable" :roll: :lol: Thanks again! Thomas

Hello Pete, firstly a happy new year! I hope you had a good start. Unfortunately I got a silly problem with WideFS since I use WLAN connection. Nobody was able to help me so I appeal to you. Im using WideFS and FS9.1. WideClient is installed on a Toshiba Satellite Notebook. Sadly the connection between WideServer and Client is very (!) slow. Altough they get a connection any data tranfser between the FS and third party software like ActiveSky or FSINN stagnates. Sometimes the connection even gets completly lost! E.g. a weather update via ActiveSky takes several minutes. On a "wired" connection it's done in a few moments. Online Flying is almost impossible due to casual loss of connection. The problem occured on a Linksys router as well as on a router provided by me internet supplier. It also occured on a different Notebook. As I already wrote within a wired connection everything runs perfectly - on the same machines. (Unfortunately I depend on a WLAN :? ) Any other network functions also run stable e.g. network printing, internet browser etc. So I only have problems with the connection of WideFS Finally some technical facts: No Firewall or Anti-virus WEP 128bit encryption Server: MSI US54SE WLAN Stick (USB) Client: Intel PRO 2200 BG Router: Speedport W500V (German Telekom tech. documentation) Client Log: ********* WideClient.DLL Log [version 6.02] Class=FS98MAIN ********* Date (dmy): 01/01/07, Time 15:54:41.828: Client name is TE-TOSHIBA 47 Attempting to connect now 78 Connection made okay! 4985 New Client Application: "AS2004" (Id=3888) 245250 Timed out response: connection assumed lost! 245250 Ready to try connection again 245313 Attempting to connect now 245313 Connection made okay! 780344 Timed out response: connection assumed lost! 780344 Ready to try connection again 780360 Attempting to connect now 781828 Connection made okay! 800360 Timed out response: connection assumed lost! 800360 Ready to try connection again 800422 Attempting to connect now 800422 Connection made okay! 820422 Timed out response: connection assumed lost! 820422 Ready to try connection again 820485 Attempting to connect now 820485 Connection made okay! 1811281 Timed out response: connection assumed lost! 1811281 Ready to try connection again 1811313 Attempting to connect now 1811375 Connection made okay! 1851656 Timed out response: connection assumed lost! 1851656 Ready to try connection again 1851719 Attempting to connect now 1851719 Connection made okay! 4403406 Error on client post-Connection Select() [Error=10053] Software caused connection abort 4403469 Ready to try connection again 4403469 Attempting to connect now 4403563 Connection made okay! 4403719 GetRecv() missed block?
