I thought I could find my way round most things or know someone who could find a way, but this has myself and everyone I know stuck! I can not get into the vault, if the vault is not on the same pc but is on a Windows network machine or a Novell network server.
I even tried just two xppro machines networked though a network hub. With Solidworks 2003 sp4 , client addin, standalone client, vault admin, on machine1 and the vault (with vault admin) installed on the machine2. I can get into the vault from machine2, but can't get into the vault from machine1. On machine2 I have shared the Pdmworks folder and every folder in it, I have even tried sharing the root directory! I tried adding the path in the machine1 registry, still no luck! Why could they not include a browse option for the vault location(opps tooooo easy that one!)??
AHHHHHH! what a piece of crap software! And yes, by the way, I have asked my Var!
No comment as they are trying very hard on my behalf, It is solidworks USA who are very sloooow. The Pdmworks help section is also utter utter rubbish, not as good as the solidworks help section. Please come to your own conclusion on that comment!
I brought this on Monday 15th September, it is now Friday 19th September and I still don't have a working pdmworks. Oh well another expensive mug mat, it will go with the free AOL disks I keep getting, but is worth a lot less! Oh! by the way, I almost forgot to ask, with all my frustration, can anyone help??
