Iain Williams Posted July 17, 2015 Report Posted July 17, 2015 Good morning Peter I have spent close to eight hours attempting to solve this issdue, but without luck. I have attempted to connect with and without the firewall turned on using WIN 7. I have port 8002 open. Everything operated perfectly, then it just stopped. I noticed the issue when my lua call outs which are located in the Wide Client folder on the client ceased to operate. I note that a line in the log indicates the code 10061. I have attached the apropiate files for your perusal. If you need addtional information please ask. Thi is the first issure I have had concerning Wide Client I hope you have some time spare to assist me. Thank you, Iain FSUIPC4 LOG.txt Wide Client Log.txt FSUPIC ini.txt
Luke Kolin Posted July 17, 2015 Report Posted July 17, 2015 Why is host "ALPHA" using a 127.x.x.x address? Cheers! Luke
alaxus Posted July 17, 2015 Report Posted July 17, 2015 You have a network issue. You should not be seeing 127.0.53.53 http://serverfault.com/questions/626612/dns-just-started-resolving-my-server-prod-addresses-to-127-0-53-53 Can you post your network setup? Your internal IP(4) address should have 10.0.0.x or 192.168.x.x Cheers
Iain Williams Posted July 18, 2015 Author Report Posted July 18, 2015 Hello Thank you for your replies and assistance. I have checked through the network settings and I believe everything should be as it is for WIN7 – although I not an expert. I can view files from both the client and server and several non FSUPIC programs work flawlessly. The client PC has an IP address of 10.1.1.6 while the server PV has an IP address of 10.1.1.5. I am uncertain why the program reads 127.0.53.53. I have attached screenshots of my settings. I have little doubt that the issue lies with something that has occurred during networking and appreciate any comments and help. By the way, everyhting works perfectly unril recently, so I am unsure what jas been altered to casue Wide Client ot operate correctly. Thanks, Iain
Luke Kolin Posted July 18, 2015 Report Posted July 18, 2015 You have name resolution problems, not address issues. You could probably tell WideClient to connect to the IP address instead of the name, or use a fully qualified host name in DNS. (If you don't know how to do the latter, do the former.) Cheers! Luke
Iain Williams Posted July 19, 2015 Author Report Posted July 19, 2015 Hello Luke Thanks for the note. I have attemped this by altering the .ini file to refer to the server's IP address which is 10.1.1.5; however, wide client does not connect. Perhaps I am writing the incorrect sytax in the .ini file (?) I am selecting the name of the server PC (ALPHA). Below is the sytax I am using in the .ini file.

Luke Kolin Posted July 19, 2015 Report Posted July 19, 2015 Iain, as I told you - you have a name resolution problem. Putting in the computer name will NOT work. What is the log when you specified an IP address? Is port 8002 open on the server? Are you certain? Cheers! Luke
Iain Williams Posted July 20, 2015 Author Report Posted July 20, 2015 Hello Luke I reinstalled wide client (easy to do) and flushed the IP address cache on the client computer (I had not done this before). I then altered the .ini to read the correct IP address for the server by adding the line ServerIPaddr= xx.x.x.x. (xx being the server IP address). I then checked the port was not blocked by the firewall - it wasn't. Everything seems to work now and wide clinent connects with the server. I am unsure why the issue occurred, but the log file now states that the server IP address is being read correctly. Thank you for your time and patience and fingers crossed the issue will not occur again. Cheers, Iain

Iain Williams Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Posted July 23, 2015 Hi Krishna To remove the 63 LUA: "C:\Users\FlightSim1\Desktop\WideClient\Initial.LUA": not found line, you need to include a .TXT file with the file name initial.lua. The file does not contain any syntax and the filename is what initiates any lua scripts you have. The file and any lua scrips are placed in your wide client .ini folder. I will leave the rest to someone more knowledable. Best of luck - problems such as this can be frustrating, Iain
Pete Dowson Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 63 Trying TCP/IP addr 192.168.1.7, port 8002 ... 1077 Error on client pre-Connection Select() [Error=10061] Connection refused That's almost certainly a firewall problem. You either need to completely disable the firewall on the FS PC, or allow port 8002 and/or WideClient.exe proper entry (never sure which it is you do -- probably depends on the firewall).. I don't use firewalls between the PCs on my Network, only on the Router connecting everything to the outside world. I've always found it a bit of a nightmare trying to get permissions right. BTW, since you aren't using the Broadcasts from the Server, the Client won't know which Protocol it is supposed to use, so you need to set the Protocol parameter in its INI as well as the ServerIPAddr. Pete

The line is NOT an error, it is just an informative line, in case you did want an initial plug-in to run and had simply spelled the filename incorrectly. Most lines in WideFS and FSUIPC logs are for information, NOT to warn of any problems! The ones telling of problems will say so. Pete

krishna Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 Hi Peter, Thanks for a quick reply. I disabled the firewall from all the systems after reading the WideFS user guide, after writing the last post here I realized that i should have mentioned the same. so the firewalls are disabled. I was getting fixated on the LUA statement as well but now that you have clarified about the same, I am relieved on that. I am still unsure what could be cause of server not connecting to the client. I registered FSUIPC and WideFS again hoping that the same would sort out the issue but to my disappointment nothing changed. Krishna
Pete Dowson Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 I disabled the firewall from all the systems after reading the WideFS user guide, after writing the last post here I realized that i should have mentioned the same. so the firewalls are disabled. Well, something is acting as a firewall, because error 10061 is described by Microsoft as: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. Every time this has occurred in the past it has been firewall type protection on the FS PC. I doubt yours is an exception. Check any add-on security software as well as Windows' firewall. Most anti-virus packages also add network protection. The only other thing I know which could actively stop a connection is something already using the port (8002), but that normally gives a different error, like "timed out", because the port owner doesn't recognise WideClient. You could change the port as a test (needs parameters changed in both WideClient.INI and FSUIPC4.INI). I registered FSUIPC and WideFS again hoping that the same would sort out the issue but to my disappointment nothing changed. FSUIPC doesn't need registering at all for WideFS to work. If WideFS wasn't registered the Server wouldn't start and you'd see this in the FSUIPC options and in the WideServer.LOG. Which reminds me. You've not posted your FSUIPC4.LOG or WideServer.LOG files from the FS PC, have you? Best post them as well just to double check from that end. Pete

Pete Dowson Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 The logs are okay, though the current ones are incomplete. When posting logs please close FS first, as there is useful information logged at the end, on closure. You don't need to post Logs which don't have the normal name (FSUIPC4.LOG, WideClient.LOG, WideServer.LOG). The ones with another number (1 usually) before the .LOG part are previous copies, saved in case your sim does an auto-restart on a crash (which would else destroy the possibly relevant log). Pete

Pete Dowson Posted July 27, 2015 Report Posted July 27, 2015 Hope you doing well. I reinstalled the WideClient.exe on client statins, flushed the DNS cache, added ServerIPaddr to the .ini file and fortunately WideFS on the client stations was finally connected. this happened on friday. But today again to my disappointment the situation is back to what it was. WideFS says it is waiting for connection. I have tried everything that may have worked on friday but have not seen any success so far. following are the WideServer and WideClient logs for your reference. The Server log is from the 24th July whilst the Client log is from the 27th! The Server log shows some connection but with problems and no actual data transfers, the Client log shows your original firewall type rejection. Since neither WideServer nor WideClient can re-program themselves and change their behaviour between those two dates, something else is changing on your system. I'm afraid I have no way of identifying what that might be. And even though you say "fortunately WideFS on the client stations was finally connected. this happened on friday", from the Friday log you show above there was certainly no data connection, only problems. The Server saw the Client, but no data could be exchanged I still believe that's a firewall or virus checker's protection sort of block. There's no other information which can be gleaned from these logs, and I'm afraid there's no better information which can be obtained from Windows by my programs -- those errors are all it gives. Nevertheless, in future, please show the logs from Server and Client which actually correspond with each other -- i.e. show the same session. Pete

However the server can only see/identify the clients but no data transfer or interaction with them. I am sending the logs from the server and one of three clients (other two client logs are identical). As per your convenience, please look into the matter. This is exactly as it has always been. The Server is blocking the Client. They are never truly "connected" because you have something preventing this. I really cannot diagnose it from here other than to tell you that. You need to find out what is blocking it and stop it. One little thing you could try is change the protocol to UDP. If that fixes it then the problem would be the Port is being blocked or used by another program. Of course, you did try changing the port as I suggested, didn't you? (Remember way back I said "The only other thing I know which could actively stop a connection is something already using the port (8002), but that normally gives a different error, like "timed out", because the port owner doesn't recognise WideClient. You could change the port as a test (needs parameters changed in both WideClient.INI and FSUIPC4.INI."?) The only disadvantages of UDP are that it is unchecked and not ordered. If a frame gets an error it isn't automatically repeated, and frames can get out of sequence. For many things (eg driving moving maps or instrumentation) neither of these problems matter. UDP is actually faster because of the absence of a lot of the checking and red tape associated with TCP. Pete
krishna Posted July 29, 2015 Report Posted July 29, 2015 One little thing you could try is change the protocol to UDP. If that fixes it then the problem would be the Port is being blocked or used by another program. Of course, you did try changing the port as I suggested, didn't you? I changed the protocol to UDP but sadly no change is the status- it shows connected as earlier but not truly "connected" as you mentioned in the last post. Then I changed the port to 8003( protocol was kept as UDP), in this case not even the connection was established. How can I find out the ports and also which one is free. Kindly assist me with this basic issue. Thanks
Pete Dowson Posted July 29, 2015 Report Posted July 29, 2015 Then I changed the port to 8003( protocol was kept as UDP), in this case not even the connection was established. Did you change it at both ends -- [WideServer] section in the FSUIPC4.INI file and in the Wideclient.INI. If not there's no chance! How can I find out the ports and also which one is free. Sorry, I don't know. I'm sure there's a utility which can tell you, but we'd need to search. Can you use Google? Pete
