Hello Damian,

Thank you for your message.

Could you please let us know what version of Remote Utilities do you use? Please make sure that you update Viewer and Host to the most recent version - as of this writing, it's 6.10.10.0 or 6.12 Beta 1 version.

In addition, before we proceed to further troubleshooting, please try referring to this KB troubleshooting guide and see if any of the solutions listed there help to resolve the issue.
Namely, we recommend that you check if the required outbound ports are opened and not blocked by your firewall/not used by another software. For more information on the required ports please refer to this Documentation page.

Please let us know if the issue persists.

Hello Damian,

Thank you for the clarification.

Unfortunately, it seems that the issue is rather on the remote Host's side and not on the Viewer's side.
In order to isolate the issue, could you please try connecting to the remote Host using the Portable Viewer and see if you're able to connect this way? The Portable Viewer is available for the download on this page.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello Damian,

Thank you for the update.

Unfortunately, in this case, there's not much we can do to help to resolve the issue as the issue, perhaps, occur on the remote Host's side, but there's no access to the remote Host or its logs for further troubleshooting.
If you happen to access the remote Host machine, then please refer to this KB troubleshooting guide first.

Please feel free to let us know if there are any updates on the issue.

Hi Polina,

the host must be running fine because i have access to my desktop over my old computer. With my new one there is this error as shown in my prev. message.
How can this be?

Hello Nenad,

Thank you for the clarification.

Could you please let me know if you also use an Internet-ID connection when connecting to the remote Host machine fr om the Viewer on the old computer?

In addition, could you please double-check if it possible to connect to any other remote Host via Internet-ID connection from the Viewer machine wh ere the issue occurs?

Looking forward to your reply.
