hi guys,
i just got my main pc back from the shop after the power unit was replaced... it was making funny noizes. when i started both my main and widefs pc up i came accross a problem that is described here: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=177078
however, when i run WideFS it works..... all the applications connect without any problems, except for ActiveSky6 of course which wants to know where the main FS folder is on the main pc.....
i have tried all that microsoft wants me to try to solve this, but without any luck.
VATSIM software works great since it works via FSUIPC but IVAO does not. my question is (if anyone can help me solve this of course :)), how can FSUIPC make a network connection to my main pc, but i am unable to map a network drive via explorer?
i have uninstalled any anti-virus software and such, reset my router and so on..... but nothing. 1 remarkable twist though, before i disconnected it (wanted to try a reconnect after), i was still able to use a networked EXTERNAL drive from the main pc, but not the internal drives. but after disconnecting, no luck we the remapping of it.....
can anyone help? as far as my reason for posting in the forum, just curious to know why FSUIPC CAN make a connection, but windows can't. thanks in advance!
