[Quickfix-users] Session config files issue

[Lucio F. <dog...@ya...>]

I've compiled and trolled around the quickfix source and the examples. I figured a good starting point would be to run the 'executor' example, then use the 'tradeclient' example to connect to 'executor', and send it order requests. 


I created two seperate session files one for the 'executor' as an acceptor, and one for the 'tradeclient' as the initiator. They're both running on the same Win7 pc. 


'executor' runs, but tradeclient can't connect to it, and I can't figure out why. I downloaded Mini-fix and was able to send messages to executor, so I know that executor is working. I figure that the problem is with the tradeclient session settings. I've included both of them below, I was hoping someone could point out what's causing them to not communicate. They're both running on the same computer using port 56156.
