Problem with WideClient


Recommended Posts

FS-PC = Windows XP SP3 => Server

Client-PC = Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit

A problem is:

I click the WideClient.exe on the my Desktop and first all seems to be OK but after 15-20 sec I see top of the WideClient

window a text: Waiting for a connection.

Here is the Logs

No, it is never okay. No data ever reaches the client from WideFS. Your client PC is blocking everything the Server tries to send. Probably the firewall. Have you checked? Don't forget Vista's firewall is active against all incoming data by default. You have to either disable it or allow Port 8002 to operate.

Hi Pete!

Thanks for the answere.

I use Panda Antivirus + Firewall 2008 my both PC's and the Windows own firewalls are both machine disable. Maybe the problem is my Router (D-Link DI-524) altought I did not chance anything on there. My connection worked very well at last week and well - I re-installed my XP (server-pc) :P , BUT all things should be as before re-installation. I have a good network connection betveen Table PC (XP) and Laptop (Vista).

I am sure - I mistake something now but now I have now idea about what is totally wrong on my settings..?

The antivirus section won't be doing anything to WideFS, but you need to check the firewall. If your router supplies decent firewall protection from the outside world I don't see why you need firewalls enabled BETWEEN your PCs in any case. I hate my systems stopping me doing what I want with them -- it isn't as if anyone else has access to them.

Normally your router won't have anything to do with your local connection. For them it is only acting as a switch or hub, surely? If it is doing some IP address translation even on the local network that could certainly mess things up, but it doesn't look like it from the logs.

The logs simply show that, whilst the Server can see stuff coming from the Client, nothing it sends is getting though. It is all being stopped. Since the Server is running XP and the client Vista it does look very much like a Vista safeguard, a firewall setting.

Hi Pete!

Today I solved the problem. First I changed my Laptop OS from Vista to XP Pro. After that I had still a few problem until I changed on the WideClient.ini the Line: Protocol=TPC to Protocol=UDP. Now everything is perfect - uh huh...

It certainly sounds like your problem was due to Vista's default firewall then. Evidently you didn't switch it off or enable WideClient to receive stuff on port 8002.

There is no protocol "TPC". Maybe you are thinking of "TCP"? The TCP/IP protocol set includes both TCP and UDP. They work identically except that UDP has a little less "red tape" (administrative information) and has no checking -- packets sent by UDP are not guaranteed (unlike TCP ones) and can arrive out of order. Otherwise UDP is recommended as being faster and applying less load on both PCs. I use it all the time -- it is fine on a good network, as the problems of lack of checking only arise when something is wrong.

With WideFS you should not need to specify either the Server name, or IP address, nor the Protocol, as the Server provides all that information in its broadcasts. ("ProtocolPreferred=" in the Server's INI). If you could only get it working by adding parameters to WideClient.INI then you have something else wrong -- probably you are not using the same WorkGroup name in both PCs.

Hi Pete!

Yes - I mean TCP - sorry the mistype.

Well, I really have same Workgroup name in both PC's and every basic setup should be correct. I run FSCommander via Laptop and every time as I tryed connect it to the FS I got error message #14. About what it's mean - I have no idea but after changed the Protocol=UDP the problems are gone. I also added line ServerName=SERVER to the WideClient.ini.

Now I must to do a tetst and restart the both PC's and hope that everything works as they should be...

I'm believe that You are right - something could be wrong but mainthing is that all works - one solution is reinstall both Windows OS but not yet.

... after changed the Protocol=UDP the problems are gone.

Hmm. Maybe some of the UDP transfers are actually faulty but since there are no checks on UDP those are simply ignored, whilst TCP is all thoroughly checked so any faults would generate a failure.

It may appear to be working most of the time. Maybe you don't notice the times when it is missing bits.

Pete
