agutz Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Hello, here is the problem: System is Win10, P3Dv4, EFB 1.6.9. Display unit on the networked computer does not connect (ok on the sim computer) . Port numbers on Provider and Display are the same (I tried different numbers). Provider data folder is on a network drive, all drive/folder sharings and permissions seem to be ok. Simconnect clients 10.0.60905.0, 10.0.61242.0, 10.0.61259.0 are installed ... but the DisplayUnit does not connect. What am I doing wrong?

aivlasoft Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Hi Andreas, from what I can see on these screenshots, it seems to be ok. But I don't know your local network installation and therefore it's almost impossible to say what is right and what is wrong. Things to consider: Are both components (DisplayUnit and DataProvider) running on a Win-10 computer, or is the DU running still on a Win-7 (mixed operating systems) Are these computers members of a home-group (using a home-group makes sharing a lot easier) Do you run the DisplayUnit with administrator rights (right-mouse-click, then "run as adminstrator") Try to replace the shared device "T:\" by an UNC-path (UNC is starting with doubled backslash "\\computername\share") Verify whether the access rights and owner rights on the path ".. \AppData\Local\AivlaSoft\EFB\AivlaSoft.Efb.DataProvider" are properly set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agutz Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 Thank you for your help Urs. 1. Yes, DataPr is w10, DispU is on a w7 computer. 2. Yes, they are in a home-group 3. Yes, DispU is run as admin. 4. I tried the UNC-path (pic attached). 5. There is something wrong with access rights and owner rights on the path ".. \AppData\Local\AivlaSoft\EFB\AivlaSoft.Efb.DataProvider: \\Desktop-d05fn79\local cannot be shared (pics attached). How do I change that? Regards and thanks in advance (I'm aware that my problems are not directly related to Aivlasoft's EFB) Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aivlasoft Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Hi Andreas, I'm sorry but I cannot really help to solve Windows network problems. It's not that I don't want, it's just because network problems most probably can only be solved when one is sitting in front of that computer. From what I see on your screenshots, I would try to give "everyone" access rights (read/write). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
