Question on Remote Accesss & Networking on TradeStation & QuoteRoom

Jenny

back to the question itself. I need to connect the 2 software , they are both in home network. I saw this stie has tag of "remote access", "network", that's why I ask here

what details, could you give a hint?

Paul

Remote access generally refers to accessing something on a different network

iglvzx

Okay. What kind of software is A? Or even better, what is it exactly?

Paul

The more details you can provide about what you need to do the more it will be possible to help.

Jenny

A's name is "QuoteRoom", it's a data feel, it download data from internet. B's name is "TradeStation", it's doing graphic analysis base on the data it get from A

iglvzx

Okay, good. Now, can you confirm that computer A and B are on the same network? Do they connect through the same router?

How is your home network set up?

Jenny

Jun 4, 2012 04:52

yes, both connect through the same Router

iglvzx

Which operating system is on ComputerA and ComputerB?

Jenny

all my PCs are connected to the same Router

both A and B are windows XP

iglvzx

:) Okay. We are making progress. When dealing with networks, these types of details are usually important

Jenny

I C

iglvzx

Can you PING computer B from computer A?

Jenny

Jun 4, 2012 04:53

yes, can ping

iglvzx

Great!

Jenny

can ping, and can share files

iglvzx

How do you share files?

Jenny

in the data feed software, it has a place to input remote access IP, that's what confuse me. I though the data feed should be remote

share file by Set up Home Network, then, can browse the computers in the group

Paul

Is it from these people: forexite.com

Jenny

Jun 4, 2012 04:55

yes

iglvzx

It looks like Computer B would be the "remote" computer in this case.

Since Computer A is itself. Computer B is the "other", receiving input from Computer A

Jenny

it's all Russion languge, so I have no idea how to get it working

so, I need to enable Remote Desktop in computer A ?

iglvzx

Not necessarily. You need to find out how Software B expects to receive input

Jenny

software B has some database connections dll files

Paul

@Jenny when you say Remote Desktop are you referring to Windows Remote Desktop software for accessing Windows machines across a network? Have you seen somewhere where this is referred to in the configuration?

Jenny

Jun 4, 2012 05:00

I didn't see anywhere in the software's instruction about the remove connection, because it's in Russion language. I only see the software has a place to input remove IP address

Journeyman Geek

@Paul: o0 how did you know what it was?

Jenny

on the software input , it says "Act as a data server for connection other computer", then it provide input of "local network server address" to input IP and Port

Paul

Ah ok, then it is not Remote Desktop most likely. You have a place to enter a "remote IP" in QuoteRoom - so this is either the internet site that it downloads the feed from, or its own IP

@Jenny earlier you described this as the "remote ip", now you are saying "local network server address". Are these two separate fields?

Jenny

no, on the input address, it shows the default is my local computer

Paul

@JourneymanGeek I googled...

Jenny

Jun 4, 2012 05:03

sorry I said "remove" because on my mind it should be remote since it's 2 computers.

Paul

@JourneymanGeek - it didn't help though

Journeyman Geek

you've gotten further than most people

now all we need is someone who reads russian...

iglvzx

Boris? lol

I found them: area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/10848/russian-language-usage

Journeyman Geek

hmm

Paul

If it says "Act as a data server for connection other computer" then I would suggest that you enter its own IP address. If this is defaulting to its own address already, then leave it. Is there something in the port field?

Journeyman Geek

Jun 4, 2012 05:05

wait

what would google translate do?

Paul

Google translate is what I did, but this is a general forex site, that happens to provide forex software, and it is difficult to find any information about their software there

Jenny

iglvzx

Aha! Now you're thinking like a Super User. :P

Journeyman Geek

hmm, that looks like it binds to a specific ip address

Bob

@Sathya Hmm?

Jenny

Jun 4, 2012 05:07

there's very little instruction about how to set up even in Russian. After google translate, it's just a alien language.

Journeyman Geek

lol

Paul

@Jenny that helps. I think that you should leave that as is. On QuoteStation, is there a field for defining the server? If so, then that should be set to the same details.

iglvzx

That sounds right.

Paul

Make sure you tick that box where is says "Act"

Jenny

I know how to set the other software. but I need to install A in one computer and install B in another computer

the 2 software were designed to use in one computer only. the network thing is something new in the recent version. and I happend need to use them seperately in 2 computers.

iglvzx

Jun 4, 2012 05:10

I don't think it matters. If Computer A is acting as the server with software A, then Computer B with software B will have to point back at software A.

Paul

@Jenny Ok, so have you installed TradeStation somewhere else already? Damn I called it the wrong name earlier.

Jenny

yes, I installed TradeStation in computer B

Paul

Ok, and have you configured Tradestation to talk to 169.254.30.6 on port 2189 to get its data?

Jenny

now I want to install the QuoteRoon in computer A, so that I never need to shut down QuoteRoon because I never shut down computer A

TradeStation is installed in 169.254.30.6

Sathya

@Bob comment became outdated

iglvzx

Jun 4, 2012 05:12

@Jenny Which software did you take a screenshot of previously?

Paul

@Jenny, you are saying that at this moment, you have BOTH installed on B and you are planning to install QuoteRoom on A?

Jenny

when both QoteRoom and TradeStation both are installed in 169.254.30.6, they are working fine. Now I want to move QuoteRoom to another computer.

yes, Paul, that's correct

the 169.254.30.6 is the computer that they currently installed. the picture is taken at current computer. Now I want to move QuoteRoon out to another computer.

Paul

@Jenny, install Quoteroom on the new machine A. Go to the same screen you have posted above once installed, and enable "act as server" then note the IP address and port. Then go to B (Tradestation) and configure that IP address and port in the place where you define its server.

iglvzx

Anyone want to revamp the original question now that we have all the important details?

This is a lot better than "How can I have A connect to B" :)

Jenny

but I need first enable windows xp's Remove Desktop, to get this to work. which computer I should enable as remove desktop?

iglvzx

Jun 4, 2012 05:19

No. You do not.

Paul

@Jenny Why do you? Do you not have physical access? Does it not have a screen and keyboard on A?

iglvzx

You said you could PING both computers. One is going to act as a server on a port. If your firewall allows it, the other computer can connect to this port and communication should happen

Jenny

Computer A is a very old computer. so I want to install QuoteRoom in it, and remove the screen, and let it run to the end of it's life.

Paul

@Jenny that is a separate matter, it confuses things if you suggest one is dependent on the other. Just enable remote desktop on A once you have finished setting this up.

Jenny

in case the QuoteRoom get stucked somewhere, I need to reboot it. so I need remotely control the QuoteRoom

ok, that's clear now.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks for taking your time to help this question. I will correct my original question if needed.
