Issue with HRD Remote

[KB9HGI]

I have the remote running I setup the config file I also added 7805 port to my router as port forwarding.

I go to the laptop and try to connect by remote and it says connection failed host has failed to respond. I can not get it to connect. I put my IP in the laptop port 7805 my username and password and it fails. Any Ideas???

Have you tried it on your local network first just to make sure the remote service is functioning correctly? Make sure your user name and password are set. I was playing with the remote server last night and forgot to do that, and it wouldn't attempt to connect. Also, make sure the hrd program isn't running on the server. Only the service should be running. That the other thing I had to remember last night.

Also, check your firewalls on the pc's. If you want to be sure, disable both firewalls temporarily to see if it starts working.
