[Dx4win] DX Cluster connection

No-one has come to your Aid yet, but you might have done nothing wrong, just
not completed the process.

You found "preferences"; and you want to check Packet 1 tab.  Assuming you
are using Internet, you use Cluster interface Type - Regular, COM port -
TCP/IP, the rest shouldn't matter.

IN DX4WIN , you should then have a packet window.

In the packet window, you see some commands, one is called "Connect". When
you press this , you see a dialogue box "no connection active; OK this ten
you get a screen called "Select Internet Address".  You will need to select
one of these, and you might have to set up an account; it sounds like you
haven't got one.

This should get you going. There are more tricks you can do, like use the
VE7CC software, but that's for another day.

Enjoy !

Subject: [Dx4win] DX Cluster connection


I am brand new to DX4WIN (and spotting nets for that matter: haven't been on
in 12 years, HI HI). Things are going fine except I can't connect to a DX
spotting cluster via the Internet. I have

1. Entered Type: Regular and COM Port:TCP/IP into the Setup Parameters for
the Cluster interface in the Packet1 tab
2. Examined but not changed anything in the Packet2 and 3 tabs

According to the DX4WIN Help file, "After you have configured the TNC, the
DX Spots Window is available." Available where? I can't find a menu item in
DX4WIN that would open a spotting Window.

After 30 minutes of trying different things over and over, at one point I
saw a list of WWW addresses in a new Window. I selected one but nothing
seemed to happen afterwards.  Now I can't seem to get the Window with
addresses back.

I must be missing some simple point or my system is blocking something.

Thanks in advance.
