[DXBase] need help from a network guru

Fri, 7 May 2004 21:41:10 -0500

I run ARU on computer 1. (192.168.1.100)
DXB2005 on computer 1 connects to ARU via the local host option.
I have DXB2004 still on computer 2 (192.168.1.101)
(it's got the logs for the stations I manage and will be upgrading when I get the time)
I would like the 04 to also access ARU via the Home LAN.
I know I can just make a connection to the node directly but that puts more load on the
node. I may end up having to do it that way, but...this is also a learning experience.
Both computers are in the same workgroup and can be pinged in both direction.
In fact, if I open the little windows app. HyperTerminal and enter computer 1's ip, it
also quickly connects to ARU and the node it's connected to.
So I know two computers can connect to the same node via the software on one of the
computers.
I'm almost there.
But I can't make DXB2004 work with it's resident Telnet program.
I've tried all sorts of IP's and port combo's.

Way back when, I remembered something about not using the # or putting a space between
them etc.
Any body got a clue? Or remember/think of something I missing?
