Hi George,

Done it...!

The simple bit I missed was sharing the "SETI Queue" directory. I'd already
shared the "C drive", where the "SETI Queue" directory was, but it seems
that that only gives access to the root of C and not to any directories
"underneath".

So, once sharing for the SETI Queue directory was enabled ...."bingo - it
worked...")

Thanks muchly for the tip.


I don't s'pose you can help with connecting an NT4 workstation to the same
SETI Queue????

(I can "see" the "SETI Queue" directory on the NT4 Server, via "Network
Neighbourhood", and indeed can even use the web browser to look at the SETI
Queue stats etc. But I cannot get a WU to download into the SETI driver on
the NT4 workstation).

Is it another one of these "admin" settings??? Have tried a few things, but
keep going around in circles....!

rgds,

Thomas

I had the same kind of problem and solved it by putting the "name" of
the computer that has the queue on it in the host box.
i.e. my queue is on the machine called Seti2, so I put Seti2 in the
box and then put 5517 in the port box. Make sure you click the proxy
server box.

As far as the networking goes, you need to either logon to EACH
computer with EXACTLY the same name and password or enable the guest
account. Don't forget to at least share the directory on the machine
with the queue.

Hi all,

Anyone help me to configure an NT4 Server, running SETI Queue, so as I
can
connect from a Win98SE box, running "SETI Driver + CLI" to the queue.

So far, I can "see" the NT 4 server, via "Network Neighbourhood" but only
as
far as the netlogon directory.

Not being a "NT Server" man, it's bound to be something either very easy
(which is why I've overlooked it) or pretty intensive (ditto).

Have got some good books on NT4 server, but most are about 2 inches thick
and deal with all sorts of stuff.

And all I need the Win98SE client to do is to use the proxy.
