I tried this over the weekend, and it didn't seem to want to work. I tried it both on a peer server, and on a full server. Also, should I reference the pipe, when I'm doing it from another machine, with a double backslash, or a single one? Theaat may have been my problem. I'll have to check the code, but I may have been using a single slash, as that is what the book says is needed. If the server is running, should I be able, on the same machine, to tell the client program to look for the pipe on the machine? As in \\servername\pipe\pipename ???? -- | wbonner@yoda.eecs.wsu.edu | | 27313853@wsuvm1.csc.wsu.edu | | 27313853@Wsuvm1.BITNET | | 72561.3135@CompuServe.com | From ibmchs!auschs!IVANSTER.austin.ibm.com!ivan@cs.utexas.edu Fri Feb 8 15:01 PST 1991 Return-Path: <ibmchs!auschs!IVANSTER.austin.ibm.com!ivan@cs.utexas.edu> Received: from cs.utexas.edu by yoda.eecs.wsu.edu (15.11/1.34) id AA12343; Fri, 8 Feb 91 15:00:59 pst From: ibmchs!auschs!IVANSTER.austin.ibm.com!ivan@cs.utexas.edu Received: from ibmchs by cs.utexas.edu (5.64/1.94) with UUCP id AA11062; Fri, 8 Feb 91 17:01:29 -0600 Received: by ibmchs (AIX 2.1 2/4.03) id AA05958; Fri, 8 Feb 91 16:40:55 CST Received: by auschs.austin.ibm.com (AIX 2.1 2/4.03) id AA13502; Fri, 8 Feb 91 16:41:48 CST Received: by IVANSTER.AUSTIN.IBM.COM (IBM OS/2 SENDMAIL 1.0/1.0) id AA0101; Fri, 08 Feb 91 16:39:50 -0800 Message-Id: <9102090039.AA0101@IVANSTER.AUSTIN.IBM.COM> Date: Fri, 8 Feb 91 16:31:44 CST To: @auschs:ibmchs!cs.utexas.edu!yoda.eecs.wsu.edu!wbonner Subject: Named pipes problem Status: RO Wim, You should not preface the pipe name with \\computer.
