I can't get wide client and wide server to "talk" to each other.

The reason is as logged:

Server:

79326 Broadcasting service every 1000 mSecs

89045 Restarting service due to total lack of use

Client:

2453 Trying to locate server: Need details from Server Broadcast

2453 Failed to connect: waiting to try again

So, the broadcasts aren't being received by the Client. Either your Client is using an operating system so old it is not supporting broadcasts, or your two PCs are no in the same workGroup (the workgroup names are different).

If you cannot fix it by renaming the workgroups to be the same, you can, as documented, get around the lack of broadcast reception by providing the ServerName and Protocol parameters to WideClient in its INI file.
