Nope. I suppose my explanation wasn't great: the last checkbox _does not_
require bidirectional comms, and is therefore suitable for use with OpenGC,
which does not yet support bidirectional comms. The other boxes appear to
require handshaking between the client and server. Until I get a chance to
update the data source and FMC code, OpenGC is receive-only.

Ok. Did you fill in the network info next to it?

This is consistent with the opengc.ini file not being set up correctly.
Check to make sure that all of the paths are correct. The exe version of
OpenGC was built using Visual Studio.NET under XP so there shouldn't be any
fundamental problems.
