Hi Pete
Today I added 2 clients (win98) to my cockpit with project magenta. I installed the latest wideclient 6.71 on it. I use FS9 and fsuipc 3.7.1.
But it does not connect to the server.
When my glascockpit is runninng (but not moving) the PM filechecker says:
----------------------
FSUIPC/WideFS found!
FSUIPC No Version number Reported! Please Check FSUIPC Installation
No data from Flight Simulator, FS doesn't appear to be running!
------------------------
Off course FS9 is running, I can ping between al pc's and in windows all pcs/s are visible and can excahnge files. My older client (winxp) is working normally.
wideclient log says:

-------------------------------
after a lot of experimenting I used the wideclient 6.1.0.1 from the old client on the new one and now it works OK. This is very strange to me. AT first I thought it had to do with win98 versus XP, but now I think the latest version of wideclient can not connect to fsuipc in my setup.
Can you give any advice? Perhaps it is not a big problem staying with an older version of wideclient.
PS
I have a registered fsuipc and wideserver. (AFAIK I do not have to do any registering stuff on the clients? My fsuipc module shows that both modules are registered)
Thanks for your time
