I understand that Italc works with X300 the same way as TrueCafe.  I assume that means I can see from the Italc teacher computer not only the host machine, but its stations as well.  How do I configure Italc and X300 to do just that?

Thanks!

Hello. I need some help. I have installed iTALC on a X300 system and I am having a problem getting the batch file to work. I down loaded the "Configuring iTALC Management Software for use with NComputing Systems" PDF and followed the instruction on setting it up for the X300 environment. My problem comes in with the "italc_config_X.bat' file. I created this file and it is correct. The problem is that the system does not recognize the "ica.lnk" shortcut. if I change that to ica.exe, it works but leaves a dos box open on the stations 2 thru 7. Does anybody know how to correct this? I have been at it for about a week with no success!!!

I want to install iTalc on my cassroom at school .I folow the instruction on Configuring iTALC Management Software for use with
NComputing Systems pdf file, but I can't access on student stations (I can "see" the Host computer and works fine)

I think that everyting I doo well (with the italc_config_X.bat file and ica shortcut), but I want to ask how I can check that (can I ping them or something else ...?!)

Does the port number must be the same like in instruction, and what if the station nubmer it's  less then six station?

I've got it working well in my classrooms now.  Just make sure that when you add your client stations in Italc, your IP/Hostname and port number matches the settings in the batch file that starts the service for each station as a separate Windows session (i.e. "labhost1:5901" and "labhost1:5902" etc.).

Also, be aware that you won't see the client in Italc until someone logs in on the nComputing client stations.  The nComputing host will be visible as usual, but not the client stations (host unreachable).  Alas, that means you cannot remote logon the nComputing stations.

Im having the same issue with iTalc as wharracoop. Stations 2-4 in my case do not recoginise the "ica.lnk"  if I change that to ica.exe, it works but leaves a dos box open. I am fooling around with it again to try and at least get it to close. I have one other issue though. The name of the session seems to be the last user that logged in for all sessions, for example if i login as admin on the conosle the first window is admin, if i login to station 2 as student2 both windows (as viewed from the master in italc that is) are named student2 but i can see both desktops correctly.

Ok i have made some headway with this. First the batch file. Pointing to the exe seems to be the only way to get it to run properly. I have modified the lines on the batch file so it closes even though im pointing to the exe not the link, add START "" in front of the lines like this:

:CONSOLE
EXIT
:STATION2
START "" "c:\Program Files\iTALC\ica.exe" -ivsport 5901 -isdport 5801 &
EXIT
:STATION3
START "" "c:\Program Files\iTALC\ica.exe" -ivsport 5902 -isdport 5802 &
EXIT

That seems to do it for me.

Not to add confusion to the rest of the issues but i should point a couple things out. Im running the x300 in a Netware env, so each student has their own login and on the x300 for windows i use student 1, student 2 etc (so that office, firefox etc still work). I found once i got this running that the last student to login would have all the sessions named after him. By using dynamic local users from zenworks a new account is created based on the edir name and deleted upon logout. This seems to work best in my environment and all the session then seem to have there own name (at least more often there still seems to be some minor glitches but im alot further along now then i was).

If i find anything else out i will post it here.
