Pete Dowson Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Hello Mr. Dobson It's Dowson, actually, but most call me Pete. ********* WideClient Log [version 6.78] Class=FS98MAIN *********Date (dmy): 09/02/09, Time 09:55:01.930: Client name is ROBERTCAMPBELL 203 Attempting to connect now 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camtech Posted February 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Thanks for the reply and sorry for the error in your name . im still must be doing somthing wrong . im not for sure on work group names so i went in and set them up. as far a work group names i name then the same on both computers. (camtech). hers is the log on the client com. ********* WideClient Log [version 6.78] Class=FS98MAIN ********* Date (dmy): 09/02/09, Time 13:25:26.080: Client name is CAMTECH 172 Attempting to connect now 172 Trying TCP/IP host "camtech" port 8002 ... 172Okay, IP Address = 192.168.2.3 1186 Error on client pre-Connection Select() [Error=10061] Connection refused 1217 Ready to try connection again 2247 Attempting to connect now 13182 New Client Application: "AS2004" (Id=2364) 61933 Trying TCP/IP host "camtech" port 8002 ... 61933Okay, IP Address = 192.168.2.3 here is the log on the main com.

Pete Dowson Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 im not for sure on work group names so i went in and set them up. as far a work group names i name then the same on both computers. (camtech). hers is the log on the client com. 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 *********Date (dmy): 09/02/09, Time 13:25:26.080: Client name is CAMTECH 172 Attempting to connect now 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!
