VPN

[JMahon]

So i am using a VPN connection to work at home.

 

But, i have pretty slow internet connection.  So when i try to connect it will say "no sim found" for a while, then finally it will let me in...

 

If i try it on a faster connection it works fine.

 

Is there any way to tell mastercam to maybe "look" for the nethasp for longer before it times out and says no...?

Can you not just gank a dongle?

[JMahon]

Well we recently swapped to nethasp and they had to pay for it.

 

Im not sure what all is involved in switching back.

 

Anyone ever switch a single licence from nethasp back to a dongle?  Remember the cost?

do you have the ip of your network server listed in nethasp.ini on your home machine?

[JMahon]

Yes its a laptop.  It works fine anywhere else.

[gcode]

are you using a wireless connection at home?

if so try plugging it straight into your router with a cat5 cable

I'm not sure, but I think rolling a license back to a USB hasp would be pricey

but it never hurts to ask your dealer

I use a VPN from home. Mastercam MUST be already running (open) and then it works great. You can not open it otherwise.

[gcode]

If I'm having connection issues, I launch nethasp.exe and make sure

it can see the licenses before I launch Mastercam

No you can not change when it look for the Hasp. it dose not look just the first time it will check the license at different times while you are using it.

[JMahon]

I used to open it at work, close my laptop and head home.  it worked fine in X7.

Now in X9 when I get home it has already kicked me out.

 

I think I am going to get my license swapped back to a dongle

Look in your nethasp.ini file. At the bottom of the file are these 2 lines

 

; General Keywords.
;
;;NH_SESSION = <Num>            ; See Adapting the Timeout Length
;;NH_SEND_RCV = <Num>            ; in the HASP Programmer's Guide.

 

 

You can change the initial value of <Num>  , the first search period in the
NetHASP algorithm loop, from its default value of 2 seconds.

To change the initial value of n:
• In the [NH_COMMON] section, set NH_SESSION = <seconds>
where <seconds> is the desired initial search period.
Setting the NH_SESSION keyword in the NH_COMMON section,
applies to all protocols. To set the session value for each protocol
independently, set the value of NH_SESSION in each protocol section
separately.

 

Don't forget to un comment the lines by removing the ; characters like so:

 

 

NH_SESSION = 15            ; See Adapting the Timeout Length
NH_SEND_RCV = 15           ; in the HASP Programmer's Guide.

[JMahon]

I changed those values to 15 and now it tells me no sim found even faster than before

[JMahon]

Nevermind i got it!  Worked the first time!

 

Thanks alot Allan

[JMahon]

Ok now I can get in just fine but every few minutes it pretty much freezes for 30sec to a minute.

I'm guessing it's making sure there's still a license available...

Is there a way I can make it a longer interval between these searches?
