DataSocket Server does not accept changes made via DataSocket Server Manager.

I am trying to configure DataSocket Server to allow remote computers to create and write new items. I have run DataSocket Server Manager and tried settting the DefualtWriters and Creators to allow everhost to write and create new items. I have tried adding specific IP addresses. I have tried adding NetBios computer names. After each of these attempts, I have restarted DataSocket Server. I have even tried restarting the server computer. Nothing seems to work. The changes do not seem to be accepted by DataSocket Server. Whenever my remote application connectes to the server and trys to create a new item I receive the error message 'Not permitted to create new items'. Whenever I try to write to
a pre-existing item I receive the error message 'Not permitted to write data item'. I have even created a new item using DataSocket Server Manager and setting access to allow remote writers. However, when I try to connect to this item from a remote computer, I receive the sam error message 'Not permitted to create new items'. It appears as though the changes I make via DataSocket Server Manager are not having any affect whatever on DataSocket Server. What's going on?

The settings for the DataSocket Server are saved in a file called cwdssini.dss in the DataSocket installation folder. Check the attributes of this file and see if it's read-only. The behavior that you're describing can happen if the file is read-only and can be fixed by making the file writable.
