I also resubscribed for the WinServer 7. Everything worked fine until
I tried my 16bit doors. None of them worked. They all worked when I
was running WinServer on a Windows 2003 server, but I had installed the new WinServer onto a Windows 7/32bit computer. Long story short I had
to NetWork Wildcat using the Windows Server 2003 as a workstation.
Then ran wcOnline, and configured for my users to telnet into that server/workstation and now the games all work.

Apparently Santronics uses MicroSoft VDD to run these games, but
MicroSoft quit supporting VDD a long time ago. Any new OS starting I think with Vista will not run your 16bit door games.

I am thinking of just running a doorgame server on the board or run an old operating system.
I like the interface on the web end that is why I made the purchase. Maybe it is a bucket list item for me to try out their product. I am also considering giving up playing a MMO to make the cost neutral.

I think running GameSrv on my end might be the best idea.

I networked my WinServer and have wcOline running on Windows 2003
server where there is a shared drive off the WinServer machine for wc5
and my door games. All is working, but it took some effort to get it
right. Networking WinServer was not hard, the hard part was geting the
games working on that shared drive where before they knew to go to
drive d: and now the shared folder is W: So I had to take all the
drive desginations out of the batch files and configuration file of
each game.

the way to handle this without having to remove the drive designations is to map that drive on the host as well as the others... in this way /all/ machines would have the same W: drive... we used to do this in our start up scripts like
this...

@echo off
net use W: \\wrksta1\disk1
net use X: \\wrksta1\disk2
net use Y: \\wrksta2\disk1
net use Z: \\wrksta3\disk1


it was much easier to do this this way than to try to figure out how to map a locally shared drive on the local sharing system in a GUI...

Honestly, the distro for the pi is sooooo easy to use, you wouldn't know
it was linux. THey did a great job of getting an easy to use debian install that will do what you want almost out of the box.

I didn't realize noobs was a distro of linux. ;) So I was referring to Raspbian. Ordering up another couple of pi's this morning one for Andrea to replace an aging failing laptop, and one for her friends living room to
watch tv shows on.

My custom wood case is almost carved. It's taking longer because I'm
using nothing but my jack knife to do it with. (Including hollering the
wood) - Having a blast with this stuff.

NOOBs is actually a collection of different linux distros. One of those that is included in the distro is Raspian. I don't know what version of raspian
it is tho. It also include, from what I remember, Arch linux, Pidora, and
some other things like OSMC or RISCOS.

Well, NOOBS is a Raspbian installer, not a disto in and of itself.

Actually, only Raspian seems to be the only option available on the NOOBS installation program now.

Amazon offers the Windows Server 2003 VM for free for a year.

After that it charges you based on volume - Last month I payed
around 5 USD.

An even the Windows interface is fairly reachable.
