Hi,
I have a winfax host installed on windows XP home edition.
I have a winfax client installed on Windows XP professional edition.
Everything was ok,but today after restart it, it could not communicate with the host.
So I decided to re-install Winfax.
I did the reinstallation.After that,I got one message when I start Winfax on Client side,it says:

Winfax has performed some changes on your system for Message Sharing.After completing the installation,you will need to restart Windows for changes to take effect.

I did restart for 5 times already!
No use.
Later one, I went t o program set up,and wanted to configure Winfax Sharing Client.
The first time with no error message,just reminded me to re-open Winfax,but after I open that again,nothing could be taken from the Host,at the right bottom,that winfax icon says:

Automatic receive disabled.

Then I went to configure Sharing Client again,I tried both the ip and host machine name,this time,another error message appears:

Setup can not connect to Winfax Pro on 192.x.x.x( the winfax Server IP),(Reason: Remote calls are not allowed for this process).Check that this is the correct the host name.

I tried many times with no meaning at all.

The network is fine,if I access by using \hostname or \192.x.x.x,I can see all those shared resouces.

In general,the client can not communicate with the host with this error message:

Setup can not connect to Winfax Pro on 192.x.x.x( the winfax Server IP),(Reason: Remote calls are not allowed for this process).Check that this is the correct the host name.

before that,Winfax says: it made some changes on Message Sharing.
What kind of changes does it make ?

Please help me conquer this problem asap.

Thanks a lot .

John
