What am I missing?

 

Thanks

I just purchased, installed, and registered FSUIPC and WideFS for FSX.  Firewalls are disabled but I never see port 8002 listening on FSX machine 

 

How do you work out whether are port is listening? I don't know how to do that.

 

The webclient log shows connection refused error 10061.  

 

What is "webclient"? Anther utility program?

 

You appear to have supplied an FSUIPC4 log file and the FSUIPC4 INI file. But those aren't really relevant -- except that the FSUIPC log ends way before the point that the WideServer activity would start up.  The sim has to be ready to fly before clients are linked, and the Log entry indicating this would be:

 

    78687 System time = 09/09/2013 09:29:16, Simulator time = 09:28:12 (08:28Z)

    80918 Aircraft="Boeing 737-800 Paint2"

    85941 Starting everything now ...

 

As you see, in my very basic FSX installation it's can be quite a while before that stage is reached. It won't happen whilst FSX is stuck at the initial selection menu. You seem to have supplied a Log stopped at only 9 seconds into the session. Why?

 

Furthermore WideFS has its own logs -- WideServer log on the Server and Wideclient log on the client. It is those i would need to see. If the Client log says the connection is refused than it will be because that's what Windows told it. It simply reports the error returned by Windows. it is probably a firewall problem on one or other of the two PCs. Or both.

 

BTW in future if you do send an FSUIPC4 log file please close FSX down first. That completes the log with additional useful information at the end.

I was able to get it to connect only after I turned the firewall on and started a flight.  After that it stayed connected.

 

FYI  I use the netstat -a -n command from the windows command line.  That shows active connections and ports listening.  Before all that I wasn't getting the wideserver.log and i mistyped wideclient....with webclient.  Thanks just the same

Firewall on? Do you mean off?

 

Yes, WideFS is only designed to connect when the flight has started. The data applications might get before that is not reliable and can upset some of them. The same normally goes for FSUIPC applications started on the FS PC -- the "READY" option on the Run parameter is there for that. Few applications like the initial data before FS is ready. Much makes no sense, or is all zero unexpectedly.

i turned the firewall on with the port excluded..... strange i know.
