I have an issue that has me befoozled.
I have FT Activation Manager loaded on my base, W10 machine, to be used as a server.
I also have FT Activation Manager and Rockwell Software loaded on a VMWare machine. The search path points to the IP address of the server machine. Activations work.
However, it makes me nervous pointing to an IP address, which may change. I would like to point to the name of the computer. I click on the ellipsis next to the "add server" and "NETWORK" is listed, but no machines to select.
It seems like my VM (VMWare) is not seeing my server machine name. I have my VM set up to "bridged" mode and its obviously connected in order to see the IP of the server. Is there some DNS setting at work, here?
What is interesting is that I can go to a totally separate Win7 computer, open FT Activation Manager and under NETWORK it sees my server machine name.
Any thoughts before I call Tech Support on Monday?
