Aloha Bidirectional error 1

[ng13]

Hi everyone i use aloha, with a back of house and 2 front of houses. BOH has win xp, Both FOH have win 2000. Had a harddrive crash on term 2, when i replaced it, i got an error message that said there was another terminal on the network with same terminal id. So I changed the SET TERM= to setting to term 2 in ibercfg. I then got this error
"Bidirectional_message:unknown type = 258 !"
and cant go any furher computer just reboots when i hit ok.
anyone ever see this error or know what i need to do?

I appreciate any help anyone can give me on this.

thanks
Nick

First I'd start from the beginning. How exactly did you setup the new terminal's HD. Did you copy the Aloha folder from the other term or did you use term install?

You said you changed set term in ibercfg, good, did you also check that your computer name is the same as term? IP configuration, usually static with server as x.x.x.100, term 1 as 101, term 2 as 102 etc. Did you map the terminal drive to Z:\\alohaboh\bootdrv? Share the drive? Enable guest account?

There may be more steps as I'm really a novice in this area myself, maybe someone else can ad. Also, there may be some W2K to XP on server issues, but if 1 terminal is ok, just try to copy the setup as much as possible but with the appropriate changes as mentioned above. Good luck.

thank you for your reply rosemarysbaby.
The harddrive comes preloaded I am a franchisee, for a lunchtime restaurant and have a company who does our work however I don't have a service contract and we are switching to micros so they really don't help us anymore. I have 2 other locations with same setup so winxp and 2000 isn't an issue.
I need to check and see i the mapping is correct but nomally all I have to do is change the ip address.
thanks again I will double check those settings.
