Do you still get an "Error opening socket" message when you try to fire up both programs, no matter which one you start first?<br><br>You could try <i>adding</i> the parameter and setting it to 0, as the Windows 7 default may be to DisableAddressSharing if no entry is present.<br>
<br>Are you trying to run both wtRotators and PstRotatorAz at the same time? Do you have more than one copy of PstRotatorAz or wtRotators running? Check the task manager.<br><br>Did you give PstRotatorAz "full privileges" on the firewall, or <i>only</i> Win-Test, wtRotators and wtDxTelnet? Try giving them <i>all</i> "full privileges", and make sure port 9871 is not blocked, or try disabling "auto-protect".<br>
<br>PstRotatorAz is very "fussy". See <a href="http://www.f5mzn.org/pipermail/support/2010-August/079924.html">this post</a> for a detailed explanation of how to use it with Win-Test. The start-up sequence is critical, and you <i>cannot</i> use the loopback address 127.255.255.255 with PstRotators, you <i>have</i> to use the default broadcast address that Win-Test calculates when you press the [By default] button in Interfaces Configuration. That means your router has to allow traffic on port 9871 too, if you try running the programs on separate computers (well worth trying).<br>
<br>If you don't get the socket error message, but you still see no messages in wtRotators when you enter a heading in Win-Test and press Ctrl-F12, it probably means wtRotators is using the loopback address, but Win-Test is not (or vice versa). All programs (Win-Test, wtDxTelnet, wtRotators, PstRotatorAz) have to use the SAME broadcast address and port number.<br>
<br>Please re-install WT 4.51 on top of WT 4.6 to confirm that WT 4.51 works fine with PstRotatorAz, but WT 4.6 does not. We already have one report that says WT 4.6 no longer works with wtRotators, but PstRotatorAz was supposed to be OK.<br>
<br>Are you running the latest version of PstRotatorAz?<br><br>73,<br>Bob, N6TV<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Nov 3, 2010 at 6:48 PM, Stephen J. Schrack <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:n3mx@ptd.net">n3mx@ptd.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Darn I thought you were on to something too. I am in the IT support business so I am very familiar with the registry and editing it. The are no entries in the hive other then default. Something changed in either 4.51 or 4.6 as I was using wtrotators just fine before. I purchased PstRotator hoping that would resolve my issue. The errors on the socket only occur when I have PstRotator running. I am running Windows 7 64 bit for the last year and half and Win-test has been flawless. Wtrotators will run and turn the antenna manually using it's control panel but does not seem to receive commands from Win-test when the CTRL F12 key is depressed. I have given Win-test Wtrotators and Wt telnet full privileges on the firewall and application control. No new software has been added or updated that should affect this issue. Both wtrotators and pstrotator do not receive the UDP packets to turn the antenna. I just love the weird stuff :)</div>

As explained at the bottom of the referenced FAQ page, check the DisableAddressSharing entry in the registry. When activated, Win-Test and another application (such as a rotator program or wtDxTelnet), will be not be able to run at the same time.<br>
<br>If you're not comfortable editing the registry, fire up the rotator program on another PC, instead of the same PC, and use the default broadcast address on each (instead of the loopback address).<br><br>73,<br><font color="#888888">Bob, N6TV</font><div>

I have no such modem and the error only occurs when PstRotors is running and tracking for Win-test is enabled. Otherwise Win-test launches normally and runs normally. Win-test rotator program used to work fine until the latest version 4.6 or 4.51. Any other suggestions Bob? <div>

<br>
4.6.0 is working with pstRotators without any problem.<br>
<br>
The wRotators since 4.5 version the Crtl-F12 only works one time and<br>
then kills it self with a -01 message. I have it tested it with DCU<br>
and Prosistel and give me the same error.<br>
