Clik OK to ev. warning message if you agrees with/know of these. There appears no error or warning message. It just runs out of time and nothing happens. Fritz searches for a conncetion in a special small dialogbox until time runs out and CP also tries to connect (mouse pointer=hourglass) without success but with message "Connection failed" or s.th. like that. The only way it PARTLY works ist when I enter the PC2-IP in Fritz and the PC1-name in CP and set CP to master. After clicking OK in Fritz, the above described dialogbox arises, when I then click OK in CP, the dialogbox in Fritz suddenly disappears (but the extra->hardware dialog still open) and CP starts with the first move, Fritz gets this move, answers but Fritz' move does not appear on CP board. This happens without chosing File->New->2 PCs in Fritz. And I wonder why this is started and why CP does not get Fritz' move. Any idea? >8.
