Hi Dave,
Thanks for using the SBS newsgroup!
For your description, the issue may caused by firewall that blocks
connection to the AutoCAD workstations.
Where the AutoCAD communication center is installed? What is its' OS? Is it
Windows XP SP2?
By default, Windows Firewall is enabled and blocks unsolicited connections
to your computer. When you try to connect to a remote Microsoft Windows XP
Service Pack 2 (SP2)-based computer by using the AutoCAD File Transfer
Protocol (FTP) service, you may not be able to open a project.
This behavior occurs because the remote computer that you are trying to
connect to has Windows Firewall configured to block the AutoCAD FTP
service. The AutoCAD FTP service uses TCP port 21. By default, Windows
Firewall has TCP port 21 turned off.
To work around this behavior, turn on the AutoCAD FTP service on the remote
computer that AutoCAD is trying to connect to. To do this, follow these
steps.
1. Click "Start", click "run", type "ncpa.cpl" (without the quotation
marks), and then click "OK".
2. Right-click the appropriate connection object, such as a dial-up adapter
or a network adapter. Click "Properties".
3. Click the "Advanced" tab.
4. Click "Settings". If "Settings" is not available, click to select the
"Protect my computer and network by limiting or preventing access to this
computer from the Internet" check box, and then click "Settings".
5. Click to select the "FTP Server" check box, and then verify that the
name of the computer that is in the "Name or IP address of the computer
hosting this service on you network" text box is the local computer.
6. Click "OK" three times.
And then try to test, how about the result?
If the issue persists, please catch some screen shots when reproduced the
issue for me for further analyze the issue. Please paste images in the
newsgroup or send to my mailbox: v-yanniw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
To make a screen shot:
A. Press Alt + Pr Scrn to capture a screen shot.
B. From Start, go to Run, enter pbrush in the Open box, and then click OK.
C. Use Ctrl + V to paste the screen shot to the canvas.
D. From the File menu, go to Save and save as a JPG file.
I appreciate your time! I am happy to be assistance of you.
Have a nice day!
Sincerely,
Jenny Wu
