Default Pdox5 not browsing network - 01-29-2006 , 10:22 AM






Hi,

I have Pdox5 on a Win98 machine. I can connect to this happily via network
with laptop (xp, Pdox9). I cannot connect from another machine (Pdox5,
Win982e) although in Windows Explorer the shares are fully accessible,
visible, openeable (but not with Pdox).

When I try to set the working directory in pdox, we cannot browse to the
other machine, the server just does not show.

I am at a loss here, Any idea here, please.

Long file/path name issues, maybe? Pdox5 is 16 bit and doesn't
understand long file names or paths with spaces, whereas Win98 and Pdox9
are 32 bit and know about long file names and paths wit spaces..

My solution,

Try later version - Pdox9 - and this gave no problem and I could browse
straightaway across the network.

Thanks for the suggestion, Jeff, but I do
