Hello Christer,

I'm glad to hear we were able to help!

Seems like it's necessary for some but not all "headless" computers to enable this option then, good to know, thanks!

Yes, such issues might be occurring only on some machines, depending on the graphics card used, OS (e.g. Windows 10 vs Windows 7) or some other parts of the machine's configuration. However, enabling the Legacy capture mode feature usually helps to resolve the majority of similar issues.

Please let us know if you have other questions.

Hello Christer,

Thank you for your message.

Yes, when using Remote Utilities you should be able to connect even to a headless remote machine. Perhaps, the issue might have been caused by how the screen capture is processed inside the system with or without the physical monitor plugged in.
Please try enabling the Use legacy capture mode checkbox in the Host Settings -> Other tab and see if this helps to resolve the issue. After enabling the checkbox please make sure to restart Host in order for the changes to be applied. Please note that it's also possible to enable the feature remotely via the Remote Settings feature.

Hope that helps.

Hello Ved,

Thank you for your message.

Could you please let us know what version of Remote Utilities do you use on both sides of connection, i.e. for Host and Viewer? In addition, please also make sure that your graphics card drivers are updated to the latest versions available as well on both remote Host and Viewer machines.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello Neel,

Thank you for your message.

Unfortunately, the auto-mapping feature for multi-monitor configuration hasn't  been implemented yet. You can find the list of all features added in the latest updates in the Release Notes section. As soon as the feature is available in one of the future updates, we will make sure to provide a relevant guide on how to use it in our Documentation section.
Unfortunately, we cannot provide any specific ETA on this feature yet. Sorry if this makes our software less useful for you.

Please let us know if you have other questions.

Hello Victor,

Thank you for your message.

Of course, we do plan to implement more features for the mobile Viewer, for example a full-fledged address book, and significantly improve its interface as well. Unfortunately, we cannot provide any specific ETA on these updates yet. However, we'll do our best to make them available as soon as possible.

Hope that helps.

Hello Thomas,

Thank you for your patience.

I've checked on the issue with my coworkers and this is indeed a false positive. The fact that our legitimate software might be used by rogue users with illegitimate/malicious intentions and, therefore, connect through our servers. However, this does not affect our servers security even in the slightest way as the servers only relay encrypted data back and forth. This also does not affect other users who are connecting to their remote Host machines via the same servers and their security.
Here's also a SpamHouse report that shows that this IP address has no issues.

In addition please note that Remote Utilities is legitimate software for remote access and remote support. Any illegitimate/malicious use of the software (including its modification, reverse engineering, "cracking" etc.) is prohibited by our EULA. Besides, in many countries, such use of computer technology is a criminal offense punishable by law.
Last but not least, illegitimate/malicious usage is pretty common with other competitive remote access software as well, even the most popular ones. Here's also a related Wikipedia page that might provide some helpful information as well.

Hope that helps.

Hello Thomas,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

This might have been a false positive, however, I'll immediately forward this our developers and will ask them to look into this. We will also contact the InterServer hosting and ask for their input on this. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I'll get back to you with an update on this shortly.

Hello Thomas,

Thank you for your message.

Yes, 64.20.61.146 is an IP address of one of our servers located in the USA.

Please let us know if you have more questions.

Hello Victor,

Thank you for your message.

Please note that we've replied to your email where you've provided the log files in order to avoid duplication.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello Andy,

Thank you for your message.

We're glad to hear that you've figured out the issue and it works for you now! However, in case if you might encounter similar issues in the future, here's some additional information that might be useful:
The error entries EIdSocketError". Message: "Socket Error # 11001 Host not found. generally mean that the remote Host machine is unavailable for some reason. Here's a related troubleshooting guide. In addition, here's one more troubleshooting guide that lists the most common factors causing connectivity issues when using Internet-ID connection.

I can provide the old settings folder for analysis if you guy are interested

Of course, this might be very helpful! Please feel free to send us the old configuration file to support@remoteutilities.com, so I can forward it to our developers for examination.

Please let us know if you have more questions.
