Bill, Is DXbase 2005 on computer 1 is connecting to AR User at 127.0.0.1:7300?
I don't know if it will work, but have you tried to connect from DXbase 2004 using 192.168.1.100:7300 if DXbase 2005 isn't connected? to AR User? As far an loading the node with a second connect, the reality is it won't ever be noticeable. To ease a guilty conscience, though, you could make the second connection to a different node. Why do you want to connect the second computer running 2004 if you have it only for logs of stations that you manage?

(192.168.1.100) DXB2005 on computer 1 connects to ARU via the local host option. I have DXB2004 still on computer 2 (192.168.1.101) (it's got the logs for the stations I manage and will be upgrading when I get the time) I would like the 04 to also access ARU via the Home LAN. I know I can just make a connection to the node directly but that puts more load on the node. I may end up having to do it that way, but...this is also a learning experience. Both computers are in the same workgroup and can be pinged in both direction. In fact, if I open the little windows app. HyperTerminal and enter computer 1's ip, it also quickly connects to ARU and the node it's connected to. So I know two computers can connect to the same node via the software on one of the computers. I'm almost there. But I can't make DXB2004 work with it's resident Telnet program. I've tried all sorts of IP's and port combo's. 192.168.1.100:7300 #Barton 192.168.1.100:7300 192.168.1.100 Way back when, I remembered something about not using the # or putting a space between them etc. Any body got a clue? Or remember/think of something I missing? ----------------------------------------------------- "I worry that the person who thought up Muzak may be thinking up something else." ----------------------------------------------------- Bill H. in Chicagoland _______________________________________________ DXBase Reflector - Please visit us on the web at www.dxbase.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To UNSUBSCRIBE please visit: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase
