ANOTHER UPDATE - I read in another post that VP needs to finish downloading the archive before it accepts any connections. Am I not being patient enough for it to make the connections? Should I wait until the archive box goes away before I panic?
UPDATE More info...
Ok, trying to get it going here and having an issue.
My com driver is installed (from the Virtual VP site) and it's installed only once (with no little yellow or red thingys).
It's setup exactly like the pictures in terms of port matching.
Davis is talking to COM 5 and to Virtual VP
6 <---> 16
7 <---> 17
VWS is set to COM 6
WeatherLink to COM 7
VP is set to 16 for VWS
VP is set to 17 for Weatherlink
VP talks to the Vue no problem.
VP never hears from VWS or Weatherlink.
I do a scan from Weatherlink and it finds no ports so obviously VP has captured COM 5.
Everything looks like it should work but no. And yes, the computer was restarted. If it matters, I managed computers for a living for 25 years so I know a little about what's going on... of course I could still be the village idiot.
Not sure where to start looking now. I'm trying to get this going so I can use StartWatch but can't get past this problem.
