Re: [Quickfix-users] New user still struggling!

Chuck,
     If you are the connecting party, you use an initiator, if you are 
waiting to be connected to, use an acceptor. You do not need both at the 
same time.

I seem to remember that when I was wondering why certain events were not 
happening, the logs showed some errors. Have you looked there?

Also, perhaps your config file and a snippet of the code you are using 
to create your initiator would help the list help you?

thx
George
