Waiting to connect

[JeremyI]

I'm trying to run MySeq client and the server on the same computer. I have windows 98 SE and all I get is a black screen that says Waiting for new connection and on MySEQ I pressed go and nothing happend.

Make sure you have the IP Address and port numbers set right in the client options....

The IP Address should be either 127.0.0.1 or the real address of the machine...
In Win 98 to get the IP hit Start then select run...
In the run box type winipcfg and that will bring up a small box with the adapter information on it that will contain the IP Address...

Port should be set to 5555...

When I connected to EQ and pressed go a message came up that said this :

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

That last error sounds like no Dot.Net Runtime installed. Follow the instructions in the installing MySEQ thread to find the link to this (microsoft) program.

I am having the same exact problem. I do have .net 1.1 installed. I even un-installed and reinstalled it.
Same error.

Any ideas?

Cham,
Do you have the maps in the correct directory?

From the install FAQ
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installed directory structures should look like this:

server | C:\wseq\myseqserverc\*
client | C:\wseq\myseq\*
maps | C:\wseq\myseq\maps\*
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The above is an example of how the directories should be set up. The important thing is that the maps are in a sub folder (named maps) of the directory you run the mseq client from.

Hope that helps.

I did see that post on the folders and I think it is set that way. I dont have my client computer with my right not to verify.

If it is correct, any other ideas.

Thanks for the help.

I think when I first started using this program I had a similar problem...

I had to uninstall the dotNET 1.1, install dotNET 1.0, and then install version 1.1 over the top of it to make it work...

If the maps folder isn't the issue then try that and see if it helps...
