It uses PayPal and goes through the SourceForge system. If PayPal is not convenient, please PM me and I'll figure something out. I wouldn't want to disappoint a satisfied Poker Grapher user. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

zook - Thanks a bunch. I received your donation today. Your generosity is appreciated.

chcheers - I just emailed a special debug edition to you. I'm hopeful the new log file will point me in the right direction.

china_hard - Go to Start -> All Programs -> Poker Grapher -> Poker Grapher (debug mode). Even if it fails (or nothing happens), it should still create a log file called PGLog.txt (normally located at C:\Program Files\Poker Grapher). If you can post the contents of the log file or PM me with the contents, I'll see what I can find.

Just out of curiosity why does this program need to access the internet?

[CudjoeBill]

It doesn't. Nothing in there goes out to the internet.

It requires .NET Framework 2.0, and will prompt you to download it if it can't find it. But even that asks you during the install, not after. After the install it:

1) Reads your registry to find out the PT database connection settings.
2) Writes two settings files and sometimes a log file to your hard drive.
3) Sends a request to connect to your Access and/or PostgreSQL DB. If those DBs are installed on another PC, then it would send that request to the other PC.

But I have put no code in there that needs the internet for any reason.

What are you seeing? Can you post a log or screen shot of what your firewall software is stating?

EDIT: There are three options that can be selected on the About Menu. The main About page has a link that will take you to the Bug Report Forum on overcards.com ( http://www.overcards.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=17 ),
there's a link to the Poker Grapher Wiki on overcards.com ( http://www.overcards.com/wiki/moin.cgi/PokerGrapher ), and a link to the Forums on overcards.com ( http://overcards.com/forum/index.php ). Are these what you're talking about?

I just ran an Ethereal capture on a test machine running Poker Grapher and saw no packets directed anywhere other than my DB server. So I don't know what you're seeing, other than those links that require a user to click on them to go to those sites.

A new release is available (including PTO & PTS support). See here.

I get a Norton Security alert whenever I launch PokerGrapher:

"PokerGrapher is attempting to connect to a DNS server."
Protocol: UDP (Outbound)

I am then asked if I want to allow it.

[china_hard]

Thanks, I didnt seem to have the debug version when I installed v1.4.5 however I'm now on v1.5 and everything is working perfectly.

Cheers.

PatInTheHat -

Is the machine you run Poker Grapher from also your PostgreSQL server? Do your PT settings use the computer name or IP address of your PostgreSQL server? Assuming PostgreSQL is on another machine and you are using the computer name, I can understand this.

PG tries to make a connection to your PostgreSQL server to retrieve the PT data. The computer name has to be resolved to an IP address somewhere for PG to find the computer. Without knowing more about your network (DNS server location, local DNS cache settings, etc.), I would say this is probably what is happening.

You could try two different ways to check this.
1) You could use the IP address of your PostgreSQL server in your PT settings, or
2) you could edit your Hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts , no extension) using Notepad. Add a line after:
<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>127.0.0.1 localhost</pre><hr />
that points to your PostgreSQL server. So if your PostgreSQL server is called MyServer and it has an IP address of 10.1.1.25, the line you add would be like this:
<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>10.1.1.25 MyServer</pre><hr />
then save the file and make sure Notepad doesn't add an extension to it.

Either of these methods should remove any need to resolve the computer name to IP address.

The PG code is available and free for anyone to use, download, look at, modify, etc. There is nothing in there that needs the Internet to run.

china_hard - Glad to hear it. Enjoy!

joebill - right now one of my holdem databases is labeled as the "default DB" in pokertracker, but I want one of my omaha ones to be default - how do I do this?
