WAN settings - All bits of Host part have to be 1 in the receiver's IP address. For example, connect to Class C(network 24bit, host 8bit) address "aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd", broadcast address will be "aaa.bbb.ccc.255". If network uses subnet, it may not work. - For more detail check TCP/IP books or ask network administrators. - If you have difficulty to connect, especially over two or more router connection. Set IP addresses independent. - For dialup connection, check [Dialup connection] box on. When press [Refresh], member list doesn't go off. ---------------------------------------------------------------------7. Addition - At startup IPMSG software, you can specify UDP port number. IPMSG can run at multiple sessions. For example, using [ipmsg.exe 2426] command, you can contact only people who are using 2426 port. - You can run as much as you want using different port number. - Using more UDP port number, then 1024 is recommended. (Between 10000 and 20000 may be more safer) Known NFS software uses 2049/UDP. Ask network administrator ---------------------------------------------------------------------8.
