Host can not be enumerated

[Guest David Lee 2]

I am trying to setup SB2.3 beta on a 2nd computer via WideFS. I have no problems finding the MP sessions but when I try to start SB and select the Squawk Box session nothing happens. In SBRelay I get the following (although sometimes it say "host can not be enumerated")Added player 'N342LB' to FS2002 sessionAdded player 'N342LB' to FS2004 sessionRemoved player 'N342LB' from FS2002 sessionRemoved player 'N342LB' from FS2004 sessionERROR 0x80070057 sending QUERY_PLAYER_PLANE to to 2002 sessionI was told I don't need to use SBHost because I am using WideFS. Is that true? I posted this on the Vatsim forum but it probably belongs here more. ThanksDavid

See if this helps, 8 posts down from yours ;-)http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...g_id=1158&page=Also you do not need SBHost if running FS on a second computer and SB on the Internet connected computer.The question of 'cannot enumerate host' has been asked many times but for some reason a search came up blank?????One fix, although I cannot remember what it fixes, is to disable the 'Universal Plug and Play Device Host' service if running XP.HTH

Thanks for the reply. As far as I can tell I have done all of that and still no go. It does work, though, if I open SBHost on the client computer which is no big deal - although others say it should not be necessary.David

Hi Vulcan,There are a few other things here that I can tinker with but the only real difference I see is that I was trying to use the latest beta version of SB. I also tried version 2.2.2 but only got a little further. I will keep working on it but I'm happy that I have it working at all and using SBHost doesn't really complicate things that much.David
