[Solved] WideFs Not Working After Install of FSUIPC 7.5.6

Please also attach your FSUIPC7.log and WideServer.log files from the FS/server PC.

Thanks for the look at this. FSUIPC.log and Wideserver.log from FS PC attached.

First, I do not think this is anything to do with the update to 7.5.6. There has been no changes whatsoever in the WideServer / WideClient interface for many years. You can go back to your previous version (was this 7.5.5) to confirm this. Something else must have changed.

Can you please review the documentation - see the section Configure your Network in the WideFS User guide.

The first thing to try is to add

ServerName=MSFS-PC
Protocol=TCP

to the [Config] section of the WideClient.ini file. If you still have issues, then precede to check:

- the 'WorkGroup' name is the same on both PCs

- firewalls: try disabling all firewalls (server PC, client PC and router) to see if that makes a difference

Thank you. I had already disabled all firewalls and anti virus, and had spent some time looking at the user guide but am sorry to say that I find some of it difficult to understand.

My remote PC is now connecting - here is what I have done; uninstalled the new version of FSUIPC from the remote pc and deleted Widefs. Installed the previous version of FSUIPC (7.5.5) and restored the older Widefs file from the recycle bin. I did add the servername and protocol entries you suggested to the Widefs.ini file.  The new version of FSUIPC (7.5.6) remains on the FS PC, but as I said, Widefs is now connecting on the remote PC as before.

Maybe this will help someone else if they encounter this problem.

Your help is much appreciated.
