Following is from Ed Collins page at; http://www.inficad.com/~ecollins/winb-config.htm -------------------------------- 4) Is it possible to use WinBoard with Accuclock on Chess.net? Yes. 1) Download the accuclck.exe file from ftp://www.chess.net/pub and place it in your WinBoard directory (folder). 2) With any text editor, open up your winboard.ini file. 3) Change your Chess.net settings to chess.net /icshost=localhost /icsport=1000 4) Next, open a DOS prompt, go to your WinBoard directory, and type accuclck -p 1000. You should then see a message "Listening on port 1000." (Note: You may wish to set this command up in a batch file, so that you don't have to type this manually every time.) 5) Toggle back to Windows (or simply minimize this new DOS window if you set it up to appear as such) and start Winboard and then login to Chess.net as you normally would. That's it. "Finger" yourself to confirm that Accuclock is indeed on. 6) Upon exiting the program, shut down your open DOS window. (You should see the word "Finished" in the window.) Note: You may see an error message "Error reading from ICS: Connection reset by peer." when you exit from the server. This is fine. Simply click on OK and WinBoard will exit. ------------------------- For me I use 5000 with no problem instead of 1000. Sarah.
