@ TG2,

Thanks for the reply, I see that we have been looking at it from quite different viewpoints.

I was looking at testing it on a subsection of my home network,and the only thing that sniffs that is my tomcat

There are two executable files that decompress from the download. One for the client and one for the server. It would seem that the default is for the server to listen on ports 57 & 58. I believe that you can change this, but having messed around for 3 hours or more, and still not been able to get it to work, I cannot really comment.

My initial impressions:

1. The documentation is woefully inadequate. You need a schematic and explanation of how the thing fits together and works.

2. You need detailed instructions of exactly what to do, and the order in which to do them.

3. The login screens need to be more clearly identified. they are all identical and leave you wondering which userid and password you should enter.

4. When you enter a wrong user ID you should get a popup error message, and some advice as to which one it should be. The system should not just revert to "sulking mode".

So far I cannot get past a "cannot connect to server" message........but I can make it crash well before then
