Address family not supported by protocol family

[northcape]

Good day Peter

WideFS was working fine then after a few days away I get no connection:

You've changed something then.

Why is your heading "Address family not supported by protocol family"? You aren't using the IPX protocol are you? In current Microsoft operating systems that protocol is optional. You'd need to explicitly install it if you wanted to use it.

The Server and Client logs show everything is normal, though you are using an out of date WideClient. There are no errors, but you only ran the Server for 10 seconds and didn't terminate FS before showing the log, so there's innformation missing, and you only ran WideClient for 20 seconds before terminating it. Possibly they weren't actually running at the same time, or long enough to establish themselves? 10 seconds for FS seems woefully short to do anything and terminating the Client after just 20 seconds seems to show a slight lack of patience?

Please update to a supported version of the Client.

I have not knowingly made any changes to my settings on either pc.

And there's no errors indicated, yet.

The reason for the short runtime is that this was the third time I had not gained a connection and I ran it in order to produce the logs - nothing else - so yes, I was impatient and jolly cross.

"Why is your heading "Address family not supported by protocol family"? You aren't using the IPX protocol are you? In current Microsoft operating systems that protocol is optional. You'd need to explicitly install it if you wanted to use it."

I have no idea "why". I recently had an OS reinstall by a qualified tech so perhaps he put it there unbeknownst to me. Is it wrong, or just unnecessary?

That being said I have had WideFS running correctly since that OS reinstall.

Sorry, I think you have become mixed up? Surely your qualified tech did not insert the title into your message here?

My point was only that you entitled this thread with a passing comment from the log which was only pointing out that WideServer could not support IPC/SPX because it isn't installed. If you are not intending to use IPX/SPX, that does not matter. This is why I asked why you used it as your title?

Okay, now you left WideServer running for over two minutes and no connection seen.

1187 Trying TCP/IP host "SERVER" port 8002 ...

1187Okay, IP Address = 192.168.1.100

22140 Error on client pre-Connection Select() [Error=10060] Connection timed out

And this time you ran long enough for WideClient to report an error.

It appears that your Server is not seeing the client and the client cannot get through to the Server. Assuming it is getting the IP address correctly (192.168.1.100 looks normal), there is either no true network connection to the Server or, probably more likely, you have a firewall stopping it -- either stopping WideClient sending out to the Server, or the Server stopping incoming connections.

There's really nothing else I can tell from here. You need to allow your two PCs to talk freely, or at least make exceptions for FS and WideClient.

My fault - resolved - thank you.
