Sorry for being an idiot.. i am new to Centera dev and trying for first time to connect to the public cluster(s). XP client VS2005 in debug mode.. downloaded SDK and wrapper and compiled wrapper and referenced FPSDK.DLL etc..no errors in solution/project. downloaded pea files as applicable.

When I execute the following code(using name/secret authentication):

Dim clusterAddress As String

clusterAddress =

"128.221.220.64?name=profile1,secret=profile1" 'SECRET

Dim thePool As New FPPool(clusterAddress)

It fails instantiating "thePool" with errror:

-10020 "no primary cluster found"

If I use this cluster address using the associated PEA file:

clusterAddress =

"128.221.200.64?C:\Data\Centera\PEAFiles\us3profile1_rdqeDcw.pea" 'PEA

It fails instantiating "thePool" with errror:

-10153 "Failed to authenticate PEA data"

Any ideas? Thx!!!!!!!
