Hi,
I have client-server software that talks back and forth using mailslots.
The issue is that when the server application is running on a Windows 2000
(Pro or Server) and the client is on a Windows XP machine, then client
requests are not answered.
The same software works fine if the server application is running on a
Windows NT or on a Windows XP platform where the client can be on NT, XP,
2000, so the problem seems to be some compatibility with Windows 2000.
It also works if the server appliction is on Windows 2000 and the client is
on Windows NT or 2000, but not XP.
Since mailslots is a fairly simple mechanisim, I feel there is some sort of
permission/priviledge issue at the heart of this issue.
Any ideas?
