rush1974 Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 Hi .. I just purchased P3dv4.2 and also FSUIPC5 and Widefs7 .. I installed everything and registered.. When I run widefs 7 from my client computer, I keep seeing Waiting for connection ... I'm running, Windows 7 64bit on the main P3dv4 PC and Win 7 64bit on my client PC to run some addons ... Both the machines are on the same workgroup and I have FSUIPC4 installed as well, and when I run FSX-SE and run Widefs 6 on the client PC it connects... I can't connect with P3dv4 and Widefs 7 ... Any help of suggestions ... thanks.. Russell. BTW: I'm using all default setting when I installed FSUIPC5 and Widefs7 .... this is my log file from wideclient ********* WideClient Log [version 7.141] Class=FS98MAIN ********* Date (dmy): 21/03/18, Time 13:04:45.103: Client name is E8400 156 LUA: "C:\WideFS7\Initial.LUA": not found 188 Attempting to connect now 188 Trying to locate server: Need details from Server Broadcast 188 Failed to connect: waiting to try again 1219 Attempting to connect now 2219 Server = I7-7700K-FSX 2219 Trying TCP/IP host "I7-7700K-FSX" port 8002 ... 2219 ...

rush1974 Posted March 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 Ok.. I think i figured the issuse here... I think it's my Windows 7 Firewall on the main P3dv4 machine ... When I go into the control panel and disable the firewall all the clients PC connect ... When I enable it, they disconnect ... So, how would one add an exception into windows firewall in Windows 7 64bit so that i don't need to turn it on/off everytime.. thanks.. Russell.

I'm not sure how you do that, but I know it is a regular needed thing to do. I don't have any firewalls between the 8 PCs involved in my Cockpit setup. I have too many needs for inter-PC connections. Googling on the subject finds this answer straight-away. (You should try internet searching, it helps me quite a lot): Add Firewall Program Exception Choose Control Panel from the Windows Start menu. ... Beneath Manage security settings for, select Windows Firewall. ... Determine the status of the Windows Firewall. ... Open the Exceptions tab and click the Add Program button. The program you'd need to allow access for is presumably P3D, though logically it would seem to be WideClient.exe -- except that if you already use that connecting to FSX-SE it should be there already, if needed. BTW Whenever you do want to report a problem with WideFS, you need to remember that there are two ends to the connection. I would need to see not only the WideClient.LOG but also the WideServer.LOG, which you'd find in the Modules folder next to the FSUIPC one.
