Pete Dowson Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 ok i have every thing set up the way i had it in Vesta but wideclient will not conect help plz? You posted in the wrong Forum! Lucky I saw it! my ini file; PLEASE SEE WideFS documentation for parameter details ; ===================================================== ServerName=Workgroup Protocol=TCP [Config] ... You must put the ServerName and Protocol parameters INSIDE the [Config] section, not outside any section at all where nothing can read them! Please re-check the documentation supplied. BTW Windows 7 is nothing to do with it -- I use Windows 7 with no problems at all. Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Dowson Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 thanks for that ill try it later when i get homesorry for posting in wrong place my bad. ? how did it work before? Probably, before, you had both FS and the client PCs on the same WorkGroup. That way the Broadcasting from WideServer is seen by the Client and it then knows automatically what the Server name and Protocol is. The client would certainly never have used parameters in an INI outside the [Config] section -- Windows won't even allow it to read them. Vista and Windows 7 have a different default WorkGroup name to XP. You can go back to the same automatic system you had before simply by changing the name to match the one in the other PC. I always use the workgroup name "PETES" for instance, on all my PCs. You can find the place to change it in your Computer properties, in the same area that you set the PC name.

salamag Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Hello Pete, I have been using a registered FSUIPC and WIDEFS for both FSX and FS9 with no issues at all as long am using the same OS on both computers. FS in main pc and project majenta on another..now using XP or vista on both computers everything works perfectly, but using for instance XP on main and vista on the other or vice versa, widefs does not connect. Is there anyway I can solve that issue ? (am using windows 7 Ultimate 64)now for FSX/9 and and XP for PM. Thanks. Regards, Salama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or else simply provide the ServerName and Protocol parameters to WideClient in its INI file. If neither of those work, you have a firewall in the way.

salamag Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 My sincere apologies Mr. Dowson, I should have read the previous message, I did everything as you said regarding the server-name and protocol and it works beautifully . Thanks and my apologies once again. Regards, Salama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
