drwalker Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Hi there! I am running 2 machines, both with Vista Home Premium fully patched On the FSX machine I have FSUIPC ver 4.4 - the window running FSX has "Microsoft Flight Simulator X with WideServer: waiting for clients" in its title bar On the other machine I am running WideFS with WideClient 6.7.8.0 When I try to run WideClient I get a blank window titled "WideClient FS98 Eliminator - Waiting for a connection" - is this normal if FSX is running on the other machine? Neither FS Commander nor Radar Contact 4 (latest versions) can connect to FSX when they are started on the second machine with WideClient running as above I have shared the FSX and /documents/Flight Simulator X Files folders on the FSX machine, and have also mapped network drives to them as suggested in the FS Commander manual What am I doing wrong??

JSkorna Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Hi, On both machines have you allowed access through the firewalls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drwalker Posted December 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 :lol: Jim - thanks so much! I am using ESET Smart Security and it was indeed a firewall issue. When I disable its firewall everything works fine. Now all I need to do is learn how to configure its firewall to allow access so I don't have to disable it completely. Thanks again!
