WideFS Not Connecting


Recommended Posts

I have just build a new computer (W10 64bit) and cannot seem to get WideFS to connect (it is on a client with Windows 7 64 bit).  Here is what I have tried.

1)Installed FSUIPC5 on my P3Dv4 PC.  Registered both for FSUIPC  and WideFS.  when starting P3D is says at the top "Lockheed Martin Prepar3D v4 with WideServer: waiting for clients".  by the way I notice this message is not instant...it takes about 30 or 45 seconds to appear. 

2) On the client PC I have installed WideFS into a separate folder.  when starting it says "Wideclient FS98 Eliminator - Waiting for a connection".

I have read the install document and have turned off my W10 firewall.  I have also added the server computer to the Config section of the ini and I have created a rule opening port 8002 but so far no luck. Any ideas?

Thank you Thomas, this worked.  I was connected to two different Workgroups.  In case anyone else has this problem you can check by clicking on START, then right click on Computer (or This PC in Windows 10). Properties and then check that the Workgroup is the same for both PC's.  You can change settings as needed.  Once I did this everything worked properly.
