Well I've been through the whole routine as above. Checked, double checked, triple checked for the last two days. I am trying to get ASNext working across network, Squawkbox appears to work but I am nor sure it is updating the weather FSX.
I've tried removing and re-installing FSX SP1 and SP2
Also removed SDK and re-installed together with SP1 and SP2
All sharing seems to be fine, I can see all the necessary files from server to client.
Both PC's are W7 HP, one 64bit one 32bit.
If I try the AI traffic trick it just says side by side not correct or words to that effect.
Similarly ASNext says network not correct.
In network centre the map shows both computers connected to Workgroup but one says name is Workgroup and the other says Network so perhaps they are not on same network but I can't see how to change the network name, can't find option in Network and Sharing or in Computer Properties - could this be my problem?
I am at the point of suicide or writing off Active Sky and trying another weather program.
I have some very detailed instructions from a HiFi simulations written for Active Sky X but they read the same as everything else on the net.
I am waiting now for men in white coats to take me away and can sympathise with Neal.
