Hi, Wycliffe and Aivlasoft,
Wycliffe, did you mean to update the operating system ... in my case, from Vista to Windows 7 for the DisplayUnit computer? Would having both computers as Windows 7 help? I don't really want to spend CDN $120 to upgrade if I don't have to.
I've updated both the DisplayUnit (DU) and the DataProvider (DP) to SP5, although the version numbers are slightly different:
DU: 1.3.1.13675
DP: 1.3.1.13677
Aivlasoft,
I've double-checked, and the DU computer's name is "5350" (without the quotations marks). I've set that in DU's settings in the Server Name field. When I click the "Check name" button, the response is "Ok ... hostname found."
Both computers are in a workgroup named WORKGROUP. The Win7 computer was configured for a homegroup. However, I changed it to leave the homegroup (since they're for Win 7 computers only) and rebooted to see if that would make any difference. It didn't. Whether there is a homegroup or not, I still have the same problem.
As I've said, I successfully use Plan-G on the Vista computer with FSX on the Win7 computer. Of course, it is probably a much simpler program than EFB. I can also successfully share my Win7 folders with other computers at home....
Thanks for the continuing help,
Joel
