Hello, Some things to look at. I am assuming that the WinPC can telnet in to the AW. 1). On the winPC check the an_init.cfg file has \rtm\tcp 1024 and not /dev/tcp 1024 on the line similar to YOURAW = "102.105.75.5 55555 \rtm\tcp 1024" I have noticed an_init.cfg is sometimes in c:\windows or c:\program files\aim\common. I am not sure which one it uses first. The one in common I guess. 2). Make sure the TCP ports are the same on WinPC line YOURAW = "102.105.75.5 55555 \rtm\tcp 1024" The 55555 is the TCP port Datalink uses. This should be the same number on the AW in file an_init.tcp *servr="127.0.0.1 55555 /dev/tcp 1024" 3)Check that the user name of the winPC has been given authorization in the an_init.tcp file. Remember each time you change the an_init.tcp you have to restart the API to pick up the changes.
