Hi Pete, Been absent from the FS scene but now back in action. Noticed that my FSUIPC is an unregistered copy - is my old registartion invalid? Cheers, Barry

Hi Pete, Geronimo, your suggestion did the trick. I disabled the XP firewall in both computers and it now works like a charm. Again many thanks. Kind Regards, Barry

On my server machine in the modules sub-directory of FS2002 I have FSUIPC .dll, .ini and log files. Also are included WideServer .dll, .ini and log files. On my client machine which has the project magenta CDU/PFD/MCP directories I have a FSData directory in which I have the WideClient .exe, .ini,and txt files. I've just tried again only to get the smae message on the client machine. and looking in the WideClient log syas "3015 Error on Client gethostby name (Error 11001) Host not found. I will check the network settings even though the task bar Icons shows the LAN is working. Regards, Barry

I have just downloaded the latest WideClient/FSUIPC, and registered both, together with the latest project magenta updates. On my server computor and activating WideClient.exe I get the message "WideClient Error- failed to star client". Both LAN icons on the two task bars show that the network is operating. Can anyone help? Thanks, Barry

Hi Peter, Sorry haven't replied earlier. I reformated the computer and all hell broke loose. Replaced the hard drive and reloaded everything and bingo, we returned it to the network and everything works fine. Regards, Barry

Hullo Peter, Sorry, sent the wrong information. Have reinstalled WideFS5.50 in the First Officer's Client computer and still received the same fault message. Here is the Log file and the .INI file for this computer:- ********* WideClient.DLL Log [version 5.50] ********* Date (dmy): 31/05/03, Time 13:10:05.970: Client name is PC2 297 Attempting to connect now 297 Client socket() failed [Error=10044] Socket type not supported 7736 New Client Application: "PFD" (Id=-852145) 8770 WRITESTATEDATA received with bad data size! 8770 0 ReadLocal: Offset=10000, Size=0000 18527 Failed to start Client! 18920 Reception maximum achieved: 0 frames/sec, 0 bytes/sec 18920 Max receive buffer = 0, Max send depth = 0 18920 ********* Log file closed (Buffers: MaxUsed 1, Alloc 30 Freed 30 Refused 0) ********* ; PLEASE SEE WideFS documentation for parameter details ; ===================================================== [Config] UseTCPIP=Yes ServerName=PC4 Port=8002 Window=43,44,886,589 Visible=Yes ; ----------------------------------------------- [user] Run1=c:\PFD\PFD.exe Log=Errors+ Here are the same two files for the adjacent EICAS client computer:- ********* WideClient.DLL Log [version 5.50] ********* Date (dmy): 31/05/03, Time 12:07:41.970: Client name is PC1 693 Attempting to connect now 12163 New Client Application: "PFD" (Id=-868275) 17858 WRITESTATEDATA received with bad data size! 17858 0 ReadLocal: Offset=10000, Size=0000 ; PLEASE SEE WideFS documentation for parameter details ;===================================================== [Config] UseTCPIP=Yes ServerName=PC4 Port=8002 Window=43,44,886,589 Visible=Yes ; ----------------------------------------------- [user] Run1=c:\PFD\PFD.exe Log=Errors+ ;=============================================== Does this help you, Reagrds, Barry :roll: :roll:

We are using TCICP only and Windows 98SE. The .INI on wide client on all clients are identical, yes to we are using TCIP and followed by ServerName etc. Regards, Barry

Using four computers for FS2002 and Project Magenta. The server is programmed for Fs2002 and the client computers - 1 has PFD\MCP\CDU for Boeing B744 and the other two have PFD, one being used for EICAS and the other for First Officer. Using WideFS5.50 and FSUIPC2.975. Everything works well except for the First Officers computer which comes up with the message "Wide Client failed to start. " We have checked that the EICAS and First Officers .INI files are exactly the same. The following is the Wide Client.Dll log for the errant computer. ********* WideClient.DLL Log [version 5.41] ********* Date (dmy): 28/05/03, Time 11:31:30.380: Client name is PC2 239 Attempting to connect now 359 Client socket() failed [Error=10047] Address family not supported by protocol family 11023 WRITESTATEDATA received with bad data size! 11023 0 ReadLocal: Offset=10000, Size=0000 17942 Failed to start Client! 23122 Reception maximum achieved: 0 frames/sec, 0 bytes/sec 23122 Max receive buffer = 0, Max send depth = 0 23122 ********* Log file closed (Buffers: MaxUsed 1, Alloc 15 Freed 15 Refused 0) ********* Anyone have any suggestions?
