Connecting tips
If the remote computer can’t be connected:
- Make sure Radmin Server is running on the remote computer and examine the log file in case it is not.
- Try to connect from the remote computer to itself. If this fails:
- Ping the remote computer from itself (see step 3).
- Examine the log file.
- Ping the remote computer from the local computer. If it cannot be pinged:
- Ensure that the IP address or DNS name of the remote computer is valid and accessible by pinging it from itself and from any other linked computers.
- If the remote computer is not accessible by network topology, refer to the “connecting over LAN” help section for details.
- Scan the remote computer for an open port (4899 by default). You can use the build-in scanner or any port-scanning software of your choice. If this fails:
- Check the port settings on the remote computer to ensure that you are using the correct port.
- If the remote computer has a firewall installed, make sure it is correctly configured.
Windows 7 has a built-in firewall that may be active.
- Configure any proxies/routers between the local and remote computer so they allow connections on the target port.
- Examine the log file.
