Conrad,

There is something I don't understand. Most large organizations do not allow any outbound traffic and a proxy (commonly HTTP or SOCKS) is used for outgoing communications. The applications that have proxy support do *not* require any open outbound ports to work; all they need is to be able to talk to the internally accessible proxy port (normally 8080 for HTTP or 1080 for SOCKS). If an app has proxy support, and Remote Utilities does, it shouldn't need any other outbound ports open.

This makes me think of two things: either there is something unique in RU's proxy settings that I am not aware of, or RU's proxy support does not work.

Thank you,

Thank you for the quick reply - I appreciate it.

Actually, after much closer look, it turns out that the blue circle on the icon appears right after I start the Host but disappears after 30-40 seconds. The proxy settings are exactly as in my browsers on the same computer (using port 8080).

I'm seeing an error in the Host's log:

In "Information" I see this:

Does this shed any light on what the problem might be?

Thanks,

I have the exact same problem. I also wanted to mention that the proxy is set up the way it works for any other apps on this computer.

Here is the viewer log when I try to connect:

Please help.

Thank you.
