Thanks it worked, uninstalled FS9 from the client pc, and re directed activesky to the shared folders on the host, now it works great. Funny, i dont remember doing this in XP but oh well.

Sorry here it is. I just tried using FSRealtime and it works, it sends the time updates over the network to flightsim, so i guess its a problem with Activesky. ******** WideServer.DLL Log [version 6.78] ********* Blocksize guide = 4096 (double allowed) Date (dmy): 28/10/10, Time 22:25:38.414: Server name is TREADSTONE-PC 42261 Initialising TCP/IP server 42261 Initialising IPX/SPX server 42261 IPX/SPX socket() failed [Error=10044] Socket type not supported 42261 Failed to start IPX/SPX Server 42261 Initialising UDP/IP server 42292 Broadcasting service every 1000 mSecs 53742 Restarting service due to total lack of use 53742 Failed to start IPX/SPX Server 56815 Incoming connection Accepted ok (skt=512) TCP 57049 Connected to computer "BLACKBRIAR" running WideClient version 6.780 (skt=512) TCP Regards Bryan

Hi Pete. I have 2 computers on a network, one a desktop and one a laptop both with windows 7 64bit. The desktop has FS9 installed and the laptop has all the other stuff installed including activeksky (the laptop is used to replace another old desktop that had windows xp and widefs worked perfectly with that configuration). The connection between FS9 and the laptop appears to have been made ok, (as indicatged by "1 connected" in the title bar) but activesky wont send any weather through widefs to fs9. I've made sure that both firewalls are off and both computers are in the same workgroup. here are the log files. ********* WideClient Log [version 6.78] Class=FS98MAIN ********* Date (dmy): 28/10/10, Time 22:26:30.065: Client name is BLACKBRIAR 124 Attempting to connect now 124 Trying TCP/IP host "treadstone-PC" port 8002 ... 124 ...
