[RTC]

We are trying to run the client on a Windows Vista client and we always get a 10047:Socket Error.

Normal telnet works.

Same config runs on a WinXP Pro machine.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Not tried that yet, but maybe you could use a TCPIP monitor to see what its sending out, and it might help locate the problem...

Or the ProIV Trace (ie TRACEALL)...

Or the Client Trace, but I forget at the moment how to turn that on...

rtc,

What's the backend server? (I'm assuming *Nix because you say telnet works.)

Can you verify that it connects to the server?

Regards,

Joseph

Backend is a Solaris 8 machine.

We had to install telnet from a WinXP machine because there was none in Vista.

We can connect and login to the server using the installed telnet.

The way the error appears ... the PRO-IV client gives out the error immediately (not connection attempts were seen on the screen).
It appears that the PRO-IV client was not able to create the socket it needs to make to process the connection.

RTC,

If you had to install telnet, I'm suspecting that the ProIV client is not finding telnet.

Can you verify that the telnet you loaded is in your system path?

Long shot,

Windows firewall not blocking it ?

[RTC]

We deactivated Windows firewall for the test and the issue remains.

Is there are parameter file to tell PRO-IV where to look for the telnet program? We can run telnet from the command prompt without having to type the full path name.

Hi,

The telnet settings can be changed in the ProIV Client, if you go to the menu View/Options and then under the Terminal tab.

You can specify the telnet.exe path or another program in the 'Terminal Command' field...

I've not tried it, but it should work...

Has anyone figured this one out? Windows Vista install of 5.5 Single Developer gets socket error 10047? I turned on the telnet feature from the control panel and still get the error. Any ideas out there?

If you have not read it already, check out the thread by JamesS on the subject of vista.

Telnet by default isn't turned on in Vista - you need to enable it from the Control Panel -> Programs & Features -> Turn windows Features on or off -> then select telnet client from the list.

This will turn on the telnet system on Vista so you don't need to install from a WinXP disk.

Out of curiosty - what version of Pro-IV are you using?
