John,

I just tried to put up a separate controller and client, and they couldn't
"find" each other as far as DTM was concerned.

My thinking is as follows:

Provide a tool whereby either/both the controller or client could bring up a
dialog where one could interrogate the network and the user could click on
the appropriate machine to talk to....sort of like MS Explorer's "Map network
drive" for a UI. The tool would then interrogate the selected machine to see
if a WTT service could be established between the two.

This may also be useful if one wants to switch a client between different
controllers.

Reinstalling the Client is a clumsy and somewhat unreliable way of doing
things, as I have discovered.

Does this sound reasonable and doable?

Thanks.

there is a command line tool in the DTM client/controller directories that
uses the same communication protocal to check connectivitiy

try using "WTTCMD.exe ping <machinename>"
