Connecting from a remote pc

Yeah - I believe that only works if I turn on multi-flex. I knew that was an option. There are other options as well. I could run either HRD or something with an HRD type engine like slicemaster. Frankly Slicemaster is probably a little lighter than HRD but either would work. At this point I wasn't just trying to solve the problem at any cost I was trying to understand why I can't setup a port using smartCat and connect to it across the network. Maybe the explanation is as simple as SmartCat only creates virtual ports. Seems unfortunate but if that was the intent then it is what it is. I made the assumption the port was "real" to the extent it would have ethernet exposure. I guess not. Seems like a utility to port forward or passthru from a virtual smartcat socket to an actual ethernet listening port would be handy. WIth a limited single objective, it should be pretty resource light as well. Oh well. Hey, I am just an appliance type guy ya know. I only pretend to know how stuff works. : ) Hey maybe this functionality already exists with something as simple as a function in some library someplace. It should. Seems like a handy tool to have. Sort of like COM to COM works by passing virtual ports to physical ports for serial connections.
