Hi Bob,

I had the same problem.
1) Make sure that you have the same version on Newt and Mac
2) In order to make the Mac to be "seen" from the Newt QFX Application, you need to start the transfer on the Mac.
3) QFX seems to be very sensitive with regard to the extension it uses for data transfer. It seems You use AppleTalk via Ethernet.
Then check out the version of AppleTalk ADSP extension. I still not achieved to find a version which works with both, NCU and QFX.
But if the version of the ADSP extension does not work with QFX, you will see an error message after trying to invoke the transfer.

HTH

Cheers
Johannes

Betreff: [NTLK] Quickfigure exchange problem

I haven't use QFX for a long time (since upgrading desktop hardware).
When I try to transfer a sheet, it times out without making a
connection. I have tried the hints noted in the help file. Anyone
have any additional clues as to how to get the connection to work?

I have no trouble connecting with NCU, but when I switch to Excel and
try to transfer, my old computer is the only one listed, and when I
choose "other computer" to pick the new one, no connection is ever
made. This is on my home network, where even though I have appletalk
devices, there is no named zone (is this a problem?-wasn't with NCU).
Both the old computer and now the new one show up with NCU. I have
tried reinstalling all the Quickfigure software on both the Newton
and desktop, but the default (old) computer names are retained. Is
there a place in the Newton where I can do the equivalent of throwing
away the preference file on the desktop?

Current Hardware: desktop Mac 8500, OS 9.1, Excel 2001 (QFX installed
and apparently functional); Newton 2100 with QFX installed,
connecting via Appletalk. I don't have a suitable serial cable to try
connecting this way.
