Re: WDSCi 7.0 and Windows 7

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Have you checked the Win7 firewall?  The nicest thing I can say about it 
is it's extraordinarily annoying.  Try turning it off completely.  You 
may have to open the ports up one by one if you need to have it running.

I asked for the 32 bit version because I highly doubted that WDSCi 7.0 would work on the 64 bit version (although I didn't know for sure).  I went to install WDSCi 7.0 on the new laptop, and it installed without any issues.  I created a new connection to our IBM i V5R4 machine.  However, when the software actually tries to connect it will prompt for my IBM i user id and password.   I enter the correct user id and password, but the authorization fails.

I had to make some tweaks in order to get Operations Navigator and the IBM i to allow me to access my shared folder (through Ops Nav) on the IBM i.  Is anyone aware of any issues or fixes when trying to connect with WDSCi 7.0 on a Windows 7 32-bit pc to the IBM i V5R4?  I've been looking on-line for a while but haven't found any answers as of yet.
