I have some confusion here. A "proggy" I take it is a program that your father has written? He is trying to maek sure that the program is not stolen or somthing? IT sounds like he should drop some debug flags into his code to set messages to a log or the screen at vital areas, and carfully debug the programs process.

Also, how are you networking? Off what OS? If you are talking between Windows computers, what network setup are you using?

I will try to help where I can, though I am not much of a networker, I am well diversed in programming and network programming. IF that makes any sence at all

If you could let me know what programming language the program is written in, I can help more. I would also be interested in 'How" it is running across the network. Please don't say he used any Micro$oft language
