Winfax Pro sharing problems

Russ

I did on this occasion. However, my knowledge does not cover printer
problems to any depth. I generally cover other Windows XP newsgroups. It
is just that as a user of WinFax Pro I have some idea of how the
programme works.

" it might send users into a dead end" Of course it might but at least
they are more likely to find out why! Your way perpetuates a nanny knows
best situation. Surely it is better to give users the opportunity to
choose.

I notice you did not answer this question. "Where and when did I do this
"You're the one who criticized me for being hard on Symantec"?"

The beauty of these peer-to-peer newsgroups is that they permit many
opinions and let savvy end users figure out what might work best for
them. The more opinions the better. None is worth more than another.
So post more often. Lend a hand around here. That's how it works.

You are no Peter Mandelson or Lord Mandelson etc as his official
title is now. He the Prince of Darkness and the Master of Spin in
the UK at the moment!

Where and when did I do this "You're the one who criticized me for
being hard on Symantec"?

I agree with your comments about Symantec and Microsoft Fax. They
have made decisions neither of us can reverse.

My only disappointment is that you choose to react in this way
"That's why I don't encourage users to continue to look for
solutions with the product." The users have a useful product and are
seeking help. It's not their fault that Symantec chose to act the
way they did. Why punish the user for what Symantec did?

As I said in my last post all you need to do is pass the link on as a
possible source of help. Is that too much to ask?

Microsoft never stepped up to the plate to make their XP fax
software a viable alternative.

If I were an attractive lady I wouldn't want you for a Valentine.
You're so unhelpful and so unco-operative! I suggest you do not
answer future questions about WinFax Pro as your replies are so
negative. I gave you a simple way to respond with the link to the
forum. This does not stop you expressing your views about the
antiquity of WinFax Pro. Why bring the MVP logo into disrepute by
being so obstinate? --

do not as you do not know one!

Is not supported is not totally the situation! I thought as you
until I conducted research to contribute to this thread. You
can still pay Symantec for help with a Winfax Pro issue.

Notwithstanding it would more helpful if you referred persons
requiring help with WinFax Pro issues to the forum at

Making negative comments about WinFax Pro does not help users

I am a Winfax Pro user and use it a lot on a Windows XP SP3 platform.
There are problems running Winfax Pro, which can be difficult to resolve
and may prove insoluble. My usage is on a standalone computer so I have no
experience of trying to share between computers.

I found this link:

Ok, if other clients are connecting to the Host, then the problem is
specific with the CLIENT PC. Do not , and I repeat D O N O T change any
settings on the Host.

- Make sure no firewall is blocking, or anti-virus that could be blocking
ports. As a test, turn off all firewall and anti-virus on the client PC.
You'll need to add "wfxctl32.exe" to your exceptions in the firewall (if
enabled)
- Make sure DCOM is enabled on the PC. (you'll have to look this up)
- What version of WinFax is the client using? is it the same as the Host?

the site referenced in other posts has changed, if all fails you can always
post to http://www.getfaxing.com/forums

It's not hate. It's just becoming fed up with a company and product that has
served its end users poorly in my opinion. WinFax SE was just the first
indication of the problem. The product never worked even after two versions
but no one took responsibility for that fact nor attempted to fix it. That
same lack of support and development eventually overtook even the flagship
product. I know. Caveat emptor. But emptor was never given any indication
that the product was no longer undergoing any development that would keep it
current and functioning.
