WideClient Detected - WideServer NOT running

[Saul]

Hi Pete

I needed to move from dynamic IP to static IP due to new router policy changing IP addresses.

I have P3Dv4 and FSUIPC5.14 on PC-A and Sim-Av 1.91 on PC-B

P3D says "WideServer: waiting for clients" while Sim-Av says "WideClient Detected - WideServer NOT running"

I've tried editing the WideClient.ini on PC-B to specifically list the IP Address of PC-A but this makes no difference

What have i missed?

Cheers

Where does WideClient say that? 

I think you need to show me the logs, please -- WideServer and Wideclient logs.

If you do that you must also state the Protocol to be used, i.e. Protocol=TCP (or UDP). This is normally part of the information it gets from the Broadcasts from the Server, which apparently aren't working through you change in router.

Thanks Pete

I'll set the Protocol and try again

If the problem remains I'll send logs tonight when I get back from work.

Note sure what you mean re your first question: "WideClient Detected - WideServer NOT running" is log message that refreshes every 10 secs or so on the Sim-Avionics 'server' app.

cheers

Protocol was set to TCP

The problem was that i need to change "network profile" from public to private on both PCs

Problem resolved
