My experience with Windows 2000 is limited, but the Foxboro box does not really
care too much if you are in the hosts file or not. The DM usage display does not
really know what to show in the field in the display that tells you where the DM
is running.
The go_dm script will find out which IP address is requesting the DM and send it
over.(I works like this in our office where the PC use DHCP and the Foxboro
boxes do not)
The "connection closed" thingy is something else. DM and Foxview do not keep the
connection alive by themselve and for that reason I always set the "close
connection timeout" to "minus one" (-1) in the xstart window. You can find this
setting under the "Other..." button. The default value is 10 sec, you should
change this to "-1" which results in "no timeout"
This should have been a problem before though and you mention you used an xstart
session you have always used?
I'm trying to find the time to install exceed 7.0 in W2K soon. I know I did NOT
see this problem with exceed 6.2 and Windows 2000. Tried the admin account as
well as the operator account I created on the box. No problems with that.
Is the version exceed you are using fit for Windows 2000? I thing exceed 7 is
the first to be native for Windows 2000.
Hope this helps.
