problem with connected computer not showing as connected

Hello,

I'm having a problem with one of our machines. It is connected, but doesn't show as connected in the console. The firewall isn't on and I can ping the ip-address. And it seems the machine is till doing his update, probably via the sophos server (I set it up to be the second update server) instead of our server. What could it be?

  • Hello Ed_,

    I'm having this same issue

    please be careful with such conclusions. While it is a good idea to follow up on an existing and applicable thread you should make sure that it is indeed the same or a similar issue - not just on the surface (i.e. not showing as connected). Following the thread you'd have seen that you didn't get as far as Jvuz.

    Anyway, it could be the client has problems accessing the parent's RMS port (8194). Would be interesting what is returned in the IOR (Getting parent router IOR from WIN-C3IG4ZGDGFD.att.net:8192). If you telnet WIN-C3IG4ZGDGFD.att.net 8192 it will return the IOR as response, please post it here if possible. Does your server get its address with DHCP - it looks like your mrinit.conf does not contain a numeric IP address for ParentRouterAddress.
