[WT-support] wttunnelsrv question

[John Warburton G4IRN]

Hi

I am starting to test the tunnel software in advance of the IARU contest next year. Help is required please!

Problem: When I run Win-Test on the 'server', I cannot see the 'client' laptop (for example I cannot gab to it or see it on the Alt-J Status window).

Scenario:

I am running a couple of laptops, both connected to the internet through different methods (one via wireless router to broadband, one via 3G).

Laptop A - runs Hamachi VPN, wtTunnel and Win-Test. (Windows 2000).
Ethernet is ticked in the WT config screen. I use the default IP address and Port numbers - these are copied into the wtTunnel config fields. 
The wtTunnel software is also configured to connect to the Hamachi IP address on the 'server' laptop. I tried port 10368 and also port 8040 with similar results.

Laptop B - runs Hamachi VPN, wtTunnelsrv and Win-Test. (Windows XP).
wtTunnelsrv was started with a port ID to match the tunnel software (and userID , password same as client).

The Hamachi VPN software seems to connect fine. I created a virtual network and can Ping and chat between the two laptops with no problems.

The wtTunnelsrv log shows the 'client' laptop logging in and out plus other messages; although I cannot determine what they all mean they look OK.

Problem: When I run Win-Test on the 'server' laptop (with Ethernet ticked in the config), I cannot see the 'client' laptop (for example I cannot gab to it or see it on the Alt-J Status window).

I have the same contest type set up on both laptops. 

Is this working as designed or do I have a problem? I see from a previous post that it is not necessary to run WT on the 'server' PC, so I am not sure!

Any advice will be gratefully received!


Thanks. John G4IRN.
