Re: xap ping won't run - gives error message

["kerninger007" <heiko@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

yes indeed kevin there are a few probs with pierre's plugin - I
know. I didn't know exactly what happened but i tried to install the
newer version of xap news 3 (3.1 release) because the 3.1 beta
didn't send any rss content to the homeseer devices. After
installing the application didn't start . After changing to the
newer xapintranet.ocx my xap news 3 works but the xap ping didn't
start (see my first post).
After that my XLobby clients won't show any xap-messages and I
realized that the xap-xlobby plugin disappeared (in all clients!).
I took a clean XLobby setup and started it without connection to the
server. The plugin was available. Then I connected to the server and
after a XLobby restart the plugin was away.
After unregistering the ocx and re-setup my XLobby xap envirement
all works fine. Strange thing and maybe it's not my day :-/
