Hello Team,

 

I have been working on this for two weeks before deciding to post.  I am using wideclient...FSX is on Windows 7 and the client is on Windows XP.  I am using the same name for the workgroup.  Basically, I didn't have a problem using wideclient until three weeks ago.  I am trying to figure out what changed.  I am sending a copy of my log hoping someone can assist me with it.  I have tried endless amount of testing and still no success.

 

Thanks.

I can only think of two possibilities:

 

1. There's some sort of firewall blocking the connection. Usually if this is the case you'd probably not get the "Connection made okay" message, but maybe it is only a firewall on the Server end.

 

2. Something else is using the same port on the Server, so the connection is made initially by the two ends do not agree with each other. By default WideFS uses ports 8002 and 9002, but you can change these. You'd need to edit both the server setting and the client setting -- in FSUIPC4.INI on the Server and WideClient.INI on each Client.
