Are you serious? Winfax Pro? Have you posted accurate information?
Are you saying the "host PC" is only running Windows XP? Is this a P2P? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Virgilijus" wrote in message ...

Winfax Pro sharing problems
Virgilijus
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: http://www.paulscomputerservice.net/...are/winfax.php This forum still actively discusses WinFax Pro issues: http://www.getfaxing.com/cgi-bin/ib3...=SF;f=17;st=50 -- Hope this helps.

Bit of an over-reaction I'd say. You're the one who criticized me for being
hard on Symantec, so I simply explained why my recommendations differ from yours. The archives of this group reveal there are many here who feel that Symantec really dropped the ball on WinFax Pro but were less than forthcoming about it with their customers, leaving many stranded with a product they can not get to work on current platforms. That's why I don't encourage users to continue to look for solutions with the product.

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? -- Gerry ~~~~ FCA Stourport, England Enquire, plan and execute ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] wrote: Bit of an over-reaction I'd say.

Winfax Pro sharing problems
I'm not sure I understand why you are requesting me to pass on the link if
in my opinion it might send users into a dead end. Since you feel otherwise, couldn't that be your job? 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. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook-in disrepute] "Gerry" wrote in message ... Russ 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? -- Gerry ~~~~ FCA Stourport, England Enquire, plan and execute ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] wrote: Bit of an over-reaction I'd say. You're the one who criticized me for being hard on Symantec, so I simply explained why my recommendations differ from yours. The archives of this group reveal there are many here who feel that Symantec really dropped the ball on WinFax Pro but were less than forthcoming about it with their customers, leaving many stranded with a product they can not get to work on current platforms. That's why I don't encourage users to continue to look for solutions with the product. Sadly, Microsoft never stepped up to the plate to make their XP fax software a viable alternative. Russ 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? -- Gerry ~~~~ FCA Stourport, England Enquire, plan and execute ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] wrote: When did that become my job? The topic of this group is support of Microsoft's fax software for XP. I haven't the time to try out all the third party fax software in the market. Russ Then suggest a better freely available alternative! You probably do not as you do not know one! -- Gerry ~~~~ FCA Stourport, England Enquire, plan and execute ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] wrote: Most of us feel it is more helpful to encourage users to move on to a product they will actually be able to get to work. Russ 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 http://www.getfaxing.com/cgi-bin/ib3...=SF;f=17;st=50 Making negative comments about WinFax Pro does not help users when solutions can often be found. -- Gerry ~~~~ FCA Stourport, England Enquire, plan and execute ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] wrote: But it is not supported and for all intents and purposes is incompatible with Windows XP. Russ WinFax Pro is not dead and gone. It does present difficult to resolve issues! http://www.getfaxing.com/cgi-bin/ib3...=SF;f=17;st=50 -- Gerry ~~~~ FCA Stourport, England Enquire, plan and execute ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] wrote: Surely you know Winfax Pro is dead and gone. Why would Microsoft have a solution for Symantec's dirty laundry? Yep... Seems like the problem is with the RPC server and read one post stating to look at ms for a resolution. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Are you serious? Winfax Pro? Have you posted accurate information? Are you saying the "host PC" is only running Windows XP? Is this a P2P? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Virgilijus" wrote in message ... I just install a new PC with win-xp/sp3 and in trying to setup winfax with sharing to the host pc, which is also running win-xp/sp3 but I keep getting the error RPC server not available when the client tries to connect to the host pc (2 other pcs have no problem). In the even log, I get: Event Type: Error Event Source: DCOM Event Category: None Event ID: 10009 Date: 6/11/2009 Time: 10:35:56 AM User: NAUJAS\Virgil Computer: NAUJAS Description: DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer Home using any of the configured protocols.
