"STOPPED WORKING" - Bim server message?? why?

[rob2218]

we get this "STOPPED WORKING" message on the BIM server. it all of a sudden decides on it's own, without provecation, to simply "STOP" working.

What causes? How can we fix this? How can we prevent it from happening again?

Ok, so based on Graphisoft guru advice, I've renumbered (moved) the "messaging port" number from 14004 to 61616.

GS told me that 61616 was the messaging port used by AC13 and that is 'should' be ok.

i've done it.
let's see if it sticks and doesn't cause server start/stop issues.

I can just about tell you that it's almost 99% sure that IChat is causing the port interruption conflict.

We use IChat here in the Mac based office to communicate across the country with another user and, well, it HAS to work.
We can't NOT use IChat as our communicating software.....so somehow, someway we need to make the BIM manager settings play nice with the IChat messaging port settings.....

LET'S HOPE THIS WORKS.... (keeping fingers crossed).

well...after much trial and tribulation today...I believe we finally had licked this TW remote access issue.

What we had to do was gain access to our modem/router (one and the same device) and change the port forwarding numbers, that 14004 to 61616 so the router could move the information along.

it appears it has been SOLVED!!!

wholly cow....I feel like I've passed a quantum physics exam....geeez.
