Network problem?? causing applications freeze
I have 6 networked computers in my SIM. Prior to my dismantling everything to build & install my rudders everything was working fine. After putting everything back together, SIM worked OK for about an hour and then all **** broke loose.
I'm now getting intermittent lockups of all PM & Phidgets applications. It can work from one to 5 hours and then all applications freeze except FS9. I can access all PCs via VNC viewer so network connectivity seems OK and there us nothing abnormal in all event viewers. I can recover by restarting the various wide clients & applications without re-booting PCs.
I replaced the Ethernet switch where all PCs are connected with no change. The only error indication I am getting is in the wide server log in the main FS PC ((I use UDP instead of TCP as is recommended). Here is a typical error:
20081000 Connected to computer "SIM3" running WideClient version 6.710 (IP=192.168.1.103) UDP
20081000 **** ERROR! Sumcheck or length fails on received socket 7624 block, len=206 (time=0)
20086156 Connected to computer "SIM4" running WideClient version 6.700 (IP=192.168.1.104) UDP.
So, can anyone offer any suggestions on what to try next? I'm rapidly running out of ideas here. My next attempt will likely be to use a new Ethernet card in main FS PC instead of built in Ethernet port on motherboard. I doubt this is the problem as there is no other indication of network problems on main FS PC. Access to Internet is quick and nothing unusual in event viewer.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated, especially from Peter Dowson :wink: whom I hope can shed some light about the wide server log.
Thanks,
