Randy No-one has come to your Aid yet, but you might have done nothing wrong, just not completed the process.
You found "preferences"; and you want to check Packet 1 tab. Assuming you are using Internet, you use Cluster interface Type - Regular, COM port - TCP/IP, the rest shouldn't matter. IN DX4WIN , you should then have a packet window. In the packet window, you see some commands, one is called "Connect". When you press this , you see a dialogue box "no connection active; OK this ten you get a screen called "Select Internet Address". You will need to select one of these, and you might have to set up an account; it sounds like you haven't got one. This should get you going. There are more tricks you can do, like use the VE7CC software, but that's for another day. Enjoy ! 73 Dave G3NKC -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]on Behalf Of Randy Rhea Sent: 24 January 2010 21:23 To: [email protected] Subject: [Dx4win] DX Cluster connection I am brand new to DX4WIN (and spotting nets for that matter: haven't been on in 12 years, HI HI). Things are going fine except I can't connect to a DX spotting cluster via the Internet. I have 1. Entered Type: Regular and COM Port:TCP/IP into the Setup Parameters for the Cluster interface in the Packet1 tab 2. Examined but not changed anything in the Packet2 and 3 tabs According to the DX4WIN Help file, "After you have configured the TNC, the DX Spots Window is available." Available where? I can't find a menu item in DX4WIN that would open a spotting Window. After 30 minutes of trying different things over and over, at one point I saw a list of WWW addresses in a new Window. I selected one but nothing seemed to happen afterwards. Now I can't seem to get the Window with addresses back. I must be missing some simple point or my system is blocking something. Thanks in advance.
