Managing Remote 7.1.xx Clients

Post by 330T »

I'm running several computer using the new 7.1.xx client. I'd like to add the other "remote" clients to my main computer for ease of management. I've gone in added a password, hit save in the Connection tab on the remote computer.

On the Main computer I go in and Click Add, enter the IP address of the remote computer 10.0.0.81, and the password, port is default 36330, and give the remote computer a Name. It shows Connecting, but never truly connects?

Both systems are windows 7 64bit SP1. No add-on Firewall, just windows firewall and MSE for AV. So what am i missing?

Welcome to the forum 330T!
I wonder if the problem could be with the IP Address Restriction section. You might want to add the IP address of your main computer to that. That might be blocking the connection.

The most significant thing about remote monitoring is that after configuring any of the clients you need to restart them. Otherwise portions of the config don't get recognized by the other clients. It'll drive you crazy trying to diagnose whats going on if you don't restart.

The V7 FAQ was published before it was finished. Please consider it a work in progress.

There are several user guides linked from the V7 WIKI page, including the Remote Clients doc.
