I'm missing something!

[JohnFranklin]

Never did a network before discovering this TB site. As a result setup successful two PC network. Both PCs communicate; print share, data share, internet share etc. But can't get TB configured right in the cfg file. Computer A (server) is 198.162.0.1 computer B (client) 192.168.0.2. When I input these numbers into the TB cfg I don't get the result I'm looking for. Please show me where to plugin these numbers on the cfg file and anything thing else I might be missing.

TB using a non-touch LCD to see if TB is something I want to pursue further.


Thanks

I don't use a network. Maybe somebody that uses one will reply.

Did you add those IP addresses in your Firewall so it won't block them? Just a thought...

Also, look at this thread...

Looked at the link. Didn't help. Firewall settings are correct. I hope someone who knows networking might help. It has to be IP addresses and port settings in the cfg. I'm using Windows XP on both systems.

Well, wait and see if someone replies. If not, you could PM Zorlac, Dodger, or even Ruggbutt. It must be something weird. Most users have no problems setting this up.

Hi start both comps go to your router settings page find dhcp clients this will tell you the ip addys of the 2 comps, then in the TB file put in the client ip to the host file in both places ie :- #=====================
#Server stuff
#port to listen on when in "server" mode
listen_port = 12000

#The password used for the server
#(checked against the password the connecting clients use)
server_password = any
#list of IP addresses allowed to connect as clients
#when in "Server" mode
allowed_ip = match:192.168.2.4
allowed_ip = partial:192.168.2.

#=====================
#Client stuff
#IP address and port of the server to connect to
#when in "Client" mode
connect_ip = 192.168.2.4
#connect_ip = 127.0.0.1
connect_port = 12000

#The password used by the client
#(Used when connecting to a server)
client_password = any

the partial ip just drops the last number, do this for both TB files also make sure that the TB exe is in the main TB folder ie where this cfg file is you can use a desktop shorty to launch. hope this helps..oh and check your ip's after a system restart as they may change. you can or should be able to set static ip's in your router but some don't like it it bogs up the security checking but nothing serious and it's only very cheep routers..enjoy..

Hey Goodnight, he did get it working. He posted in this new thread though..

But your post was helpful! And welcome to the boards.
