Re: Home Network

Well, first, when I went to one of the PCs it opened the file right away, now
today it will not. Within the program itself, it sees a logon, but never
logs that person out. Once it is supposedly logged into the program
(MotelMax) that is when it locks up and does nothing but come back to the log
on screen again.

I tried all your suggestions, but still this problem. Also checked and my
windows firewall is not on file and print sharing (if that is where you are
talking about). I know there is a way to open certain ports, but how do I
find which port I would need to open? I am definitely scratching my head. I
am going to contact the software people, but there is nothing that I can find
regarding this problem.

If you have any other suggestion, please let me know.
