[WriteLog] Networking

[Jerry Flanders]

Interesting problem. I have something like this, but in reverse: I have a 
multi-computer network, and recently I discovered one of the Win98se 
computers cannot "see out" to other computers on the network. Others can 
"see in" to this one, however.

What I think strange is that WriteLog has no problem of any kind with this 
- this particular computer is one I use in the two-computer SO2R contesting 
setup, and WL can immediately link to/from this "blind" one no problem, and 
operate 48 hour contests FB. Go figure!

I cannot find anything wrong with the network configuration. The "network 
troubleshooter" utility will not run on this particular computer - freezes 
up. I expect to change to XP soon so don't need to fix it if I do that. It 
can wait, in any event, since networked WriteLog runs AOK.
