[simpits-tech] Epiclink Problems.. WAS: Correct list for Epic?

Good morning!

Will do, sounds good! I had seen epicenter available, but thought it was
only for the USB version.

I am actually doing all this for a friend. :) My FS2k2 motherboard has
an ISA slot. I started with the epic in the FS2k2 machine, and it worked
perfectly with the epl I put in the zip file. Now it is a matter of
getting it working in a remote machine. :) I did not mention this
earlier as I did not want to 'muddy the waters' so to speak.

I will put the epic back into the FS2k2 machine while getting epicenter
working.

That's fine. :) I will look forward to your response.

Client machine being the FS2k2 machine or the Epic machine? When doing
the tests I usually have wideserver running on the FS2k2 machine, but do
not bother to run up wideclient on the epic machine.. I did not think
epiclink required it to be running. I mostly use wideclient at this
stage for testing network connectivity. Eventually I will be running a
couple of gauges on the second PC, so will be using widefs then.

Cheers!
Stuart.
