[WriteLog] WL networking log problem solved

[Georgek5kg at aol.com]

We spent several hours on Saturday, prior to SS, trying to make two WL 
station network together.  The objective was to network WL 10.61E on a Win98 machine 
to 10.61E on an XP machine.

Try as we might, we could not get WL on the XP machine to connect to WL on 
the Win98 machine.  However, it did work in the other direction: WL on the Win98 
machine would connect to WL on the XP machine.   

The two machines were connected via a router, and we could ping each 
machine's tcp/ip address from the other.  We shut down virus protection and firewalls 
on both machines, so these would not prevent communications.

We double checked to make sure that both machines' workgroup was "WORKGROUP", 
and the computer names were correct (DELL and RUN2).  Still no joy.

The finaly solution came when I entered the Win98's address (192.168.0.103) 
into the "Connect to WriteLog network" window on the XP machine, instead of the 
computer name, DELL.

Lesson learned:  Using the computer's tcp/ip address instead of the computer 
name allowed WL to be networked.
