Just need a nudge

[Matthew McAlpine]

hello all,

When it comes to computers and networking I really am lost in the sauce. I have read and re read all the instructions for the installation of wideFS and its client and still cant them to connect. Im running on win7 home 64bit. Here are the logs,

You've only provided one half of the story -- the Client logs. The WideServer.log (from the server -- the Modules folder in FS) would have been useful too. However, in this case the reason is pretty obvious:

343 Trying TCP/IP host "MYVIRTUALCOCKPI" port 8002 ...

343 ... Okay, IP Address = 204.232.137.207

That IP address is certainly not the one for your PC. It appears to be something to do with your ISP:

204.232.137.207

IP address location & more:

IP country code: US

IP address country: United States

IP address state: Colorado

IP address city: Denver

IP postcode: 80202

IP address latitude: 39.7525

IP address longitude: -104.9995

ISP of this IP: Rackspace Hosting

Organization: Sandvine (USA)

Please see the FAQ subforum. There's a thread about this very problem, caused by Router settings I believe. It is called "WideFS Server names translating into incorrect IP addresses"
