Pete Dowson Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 I am havibg trouble communicating with my other computer using WideFS and linking to FS9. Client computer is windows XP and FS computer is windows7 Without any real information I can't really help much. there are logs produced by both WirdServer and Wideclient, and these will probably show why. The most usual problem is that those two operating systems default to using different Workgrops, so broadcasts don't get through. If you please refer to the section in the WideFS user guide there is help there to sort it out. Read the section on configuring your network, especially the part with the bold red heading telling you to read it. Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would having windows 7 on the server computer resolve the problem? Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Kolin Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 10719 Error on client pre-Connection Select() [Error=10061] Connection refused 10719 Ready to try connection again That looks like the problem there - either WideServer wasn't started at that time or the firewall was blocking it.

timtaylor1 Posted December 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I turned off both firewalls on both computers and wideserver (Flight simulator) was started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dowson Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I turned off both firewalls on both computers and wideserver (Flight simulator) was started. Nevertheless, something is blocking the access. Maybe you have a firewall you don't know about? The "connection refused" failure means simply that the connection was refused. That's all Windows tells you in such circumstances. There's nothing WideFS or I can do about it. Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
