Cannot connect to Client Pc to Server PC using FSUIPC/WideFs


Recommended Posts

I'm trying to connect "FS Commander" (registered ver.7.7 patches 1, 2 and 3, also FSUIPC is registered) installed on the client computer "DUKE6", it appears that the Commander sw loads on OK, however, when clicking on the GPS icon the message "cannot connect" appears.

Also I'm listing a the pertinent files that may hep you desifer my predicament.

All other side SW's instaled on several Client PCs that work with info provided from FS9 located the server (DUKE1) , seams to work flawlesly.

Please Help.

Thanks, Emil

I'm trying to connect "FS Commander" (registered ver.7.7 patches 1, 2 and 3, also FSUIPC is registered) installed on the client computer "DUKE6", it appears that the Commander sw loads on OK, however, when clicking on the GPS icon the message "cannot connect" appears.

You don't say what versions of Windows you are using, but possibly the Client isn't Windows XP or later? Either that or they aren't both in the same Workgroup.

You should add the ServerName= and Protocol= parameters to the WideClient.INI file, as described in the documentation, because the client evidently cannot see the broadcasts from the Server. All that stuff is only possible automatically on later Windows operating systems with all PCs in the same workgroup.

Really you should have found this out by reading just a few pages of the WideFS User guide. In the section "Configure your Network" you will see this quite clearly stated:

To use TCP/IP in a client you shouldn’t need to do anything to either Server or Client configurations providing both are running Windows XP, 2000, or Vista. However, if you find the connection is not happening, or you have more than one Server and it is connecting to the wrong one, then you will need to add these lines to the [Config] section of the WideClient.ini file (add the [Config] section too if your ini file hasn’t even got one!):

ServerName=NameOfServer

Protocol=TCP

Incidentally the current, supported, version of FSUIPC3 is 3.75, not 3.74. There's also a version 6.75 of WideFS out. Neither will make any difference here, but you should really keep up to date as far as possible and certainly before asking for help, just in case.

Regards

Pete

Thank you for your prompt reply.

The Server OPSystem is Win2000 and the Clients OPsys are WinXPs.

Yes, the instructions you refered to I have read, but to one that only knows enough about computers to be dangerous, is somewhat eluding.

I will try your suggestion, thanks again!

Best regards, Emil :oops: :oops: :oops:
