We have been using eXceeds for years now without to many problems. The only
issues we have had, occurred with some changes Hummingbird has implemented
in various software revs. Exceed has been installed on a number of PCs that
have Windows2000 with out any problems and we still use the original xstart
script we developed years ago. If you are getting connection closed it
would indicate a security issue. My first question would be was the IP
address of the PC being upgraded change? If this was a base install versus
and upgrade from NT 4.0 then the IP address might have changed. Does the
site use DHCP or static IP addresses? If static was the same IP address
reassigned to the back to the upgraded PC? Do you use the IP address versus
the domain name for security validation?
There are a number of addition things might effect security but it would be
helpful to get a better understanding in how clients are validated by the
Foxboro Sun boxes.

Subject: Remote Displays using Exceed
We have been using exceed for years to open remote display managers using
the telnet start method without much for problems. The IT people have been
upgrading the PC's in the plant with new PC's that are running Windows2000
and have been having problems opening a DM after installing exceed. Several
have worked by installing exceed while logged in as Power User, while some
didn't work that way either. The error they get is a "connection closed(3)"
when trying to open a DM. They are able to open a x-window into another
application (a unit optimization program) running on a non Foxboro sun box
without a problem. The new installs are using the same xstart and xconfig
setups as the older installs are using. Does anyone have any ideas on what
may be the conflict here?
Thank You,
