Pete Dowson Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 my main computer (flightsim pc ) is running vista and my remote pc is running win xp pro ,i try everythings to get my WIDECLIENT to conect . and i just cant get it to connect. when i install the widefs and the kids computer that running vista it connect fine, but when it on the win xp it dont work You sound like a person who just emailed me with coincidentally the exact same question! :-( As I said there, you may need to post your WideServer and Wideclient log files. however, it certainly sounds like you are using different Workgroup names -- Vista and XP have different default workgroups. You either need to make both names the same, or tell WideClient the ServerName and Protocol (parameters in the INI file) so it can find it. There is documentation about this.

Pete Dowson Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 1993 Trying to locate server: Need details from Server Broadcast Yes, this is the exact symptom of what I said. your two computers are not in the same workgroup, as they have to be for Broadcasts to work. You really need to change the XP workgroup name to be the same as the Vista one, or vice versa. Look in the "My Computer" properties where you can set both your computer name and the workgroup name. If you don't do this you can instead tell Wideclient about the Server -- use the ServerName and Protocol parameters exactly as described in the documentation.
