Esteemed Writelog Users:
 
I recently upgraded all six of my old Win XP computers to newer Win 7  
machines (not ready to move to Win 10 here in the shack yet).  The other  day I 
installed Writelog (V 11.07) on these machines so that I could use it  in 
the upcoming CQWW CW Contest.
 
Everything seems to work with one exception.  I can not get packet  spots 
passed through the packet window from the master computer to each of the  
other five band computers.  The networking is set up properly (at least I  
think so) as I can pass QSO's; radio and band information; and "network gab  
messages to all computers on the network.  I am networking through ethernet  
connections and communication to the internet packet cluster through  telnet.
 
When I initialize the packet windows on each of the networked computers it  
tells me I have to set up a comm port on the specific computer.  I have  
always used the "local network" command with XP and it worked fine.  Now it  
tells me I can't establish a connection to the "master" computer that  is 
getting the packet spots  What am I missing here?  Is there a  permission I 
need to set in Win 7 to allow me to do this?
 
Any help that any of you could provide would be greatly appreciated.   
Please respond to my e-mail address to keep the traffic down on the  reflector.
