Hello Mr. Dobson

It's Dowson, actually, but most call me Pete.

1201 Trying to locate server: Need details from Server Broadcast

Your client isn't receiving broadcasts from your Server. That could be because they are in different Workgroups -- that's the usual reason. If you don't want to make the workgroup names the same you must use the ServerName= and Protocol= parameters in the WideClient.INI file to tell WideClient where to connect. Please see the documentation supplied.

Regards

Pete

Thanks for the reply and sorry for the error in your name .

im still must be doing somthing wrong .

so at this moment im confused on where to go or what to do.

i did as your instructions said to do.

servername = camtech

protocol=TCP

that did not work so i tried the ips address.

the problem with that is im not for sure where to get that from.

Thanks again.....Robert

Well, you have named both the Server PC and the Client PC "camtech"!!!

Each PC must have a unique NAME! How else can they be identified?

You've now told WideClient to connect to a WideServer on the same PC as itself:

********* WideClient Log [version 6.78] Class=FS98MAIN *********

172 Trying TCP/IP host "camtech" port 8002 ...

172Okay, IP Address = 192.168.2.3

All PCs you want to work together should normally be in the same workgroup. But EVERY PC needs a unique name! Looks again at where you set the name. There's a workgroup name too. See it? Change that to be the same, change your PC names to be unique!
