I keep getting "Cannot Establish a Remote Connection" when using FILER
I keep getting "Cannot Establish a Remote
Connection" when using FILER, from either the HP95LX or the PC, to transfer
files to the HP 95LX.
Both systems must be running the FILER application
for the connection to be established. There are a number of possible causes:
-
1. COM port on PC not correctly configured.
The most common cause of trouble is that the FILER on the PC is trying
to communicate through COM1 and the serial cable is plugged into COM2.
To test this, use the PC's FILER Remote-Set command to tell FILER on the
PC to use the COM2 serial port (described below). To change COM ports from
within FILER on the PC, press <ALT>-F10 (the PC equivalent of pressing
the 95LX MENU key). Then press remote-set config interface 2 (to select
Com2) quit quit. The HP 95LX should be set to COM1, the 4 pin serial port.
-
2. Another PC program is running and using
serial port. Another cause of difficulty in getting a remote connection
is that another program running in the background on your PC has control
of the COM port that the FILER is trying to use. To fix this, move the
serial cable to another port and update the Remote Settings configuration.
(To update the remote settings, use the same procedure as in the previous
paragraph). After the port has been changed, try again to get the FILER
to establish a remote connection.
If you don't have another port, look at your
system to find the source of the conflict. You can most easily do this
by booting the system from a floppy disk with the smallest possible CONFIG.SYS
and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. Then reboot the system. Start APP95. Try to establish
a remote connection. If it works, then something in your more complete
system setup is in conflict. To find it, systematically add to the CONFIG.SYS
and AUTOEXEC.BAT files on the floppy disk each item which may be causing
the conflict. Each time you add an item to the AUTOEXEC.BAT or the CONFIG.SYS,
reboot the PC, start APP95, and try to establish a remote connection. When
the connection fails again, you have found your culprit.
