Hello Neil,

Thank you for your message.

Perhaps, the Host installation folder or the rutserv.exe file was somehow corrupted by some antivirus software. Please try cleaning up your installation by following this uninstallation guide and then install Host from scratch.

In addition, we highly recommend that you add the Host installation folder to the antivirus software exceptions list to avoid future problems that might be caused by antivirus software activity.

Please let us know if the issue persists.

Hello Thomas,

Thank you for your message.

We will do our best to provide the feature as soon as possible. Hopefully, it will be available after the next major version update.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have other questions. We're happy to assist.

Hello Deividas and Mohamed,

Just wanted to notify you that I have checked with our developers regarding the feature - we might re-add it in one of our future updates, perhaps in version 7 of Remote Utilities.

Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you for your message and the provided details.

I have forwarded the issue to our developers and asked for their input. I'll get back to you soon with their reply.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hello Peter,

Thank you for your message.

Glad to hear you've figured out the issue! Yes, perhaps it might be caused by the Oracle Virtualbox software as a virtual machine usually can be configured to have its own IP address, different from the IP address of the host system. Please do refer to the Oracle Virtualbox support or user guides. Remote Utilities only generates an Internet-ID code when Internet-ID connection is used and uses the IP address assigned to the Host machine when Direct connection is used.

Please feel free to let us know if there are any updates on the issue or if you have other questions.

Hello Thomas,

Thank you for your suggestion.

We already have this feature in our wishlist and it's already among high priority features for the RU Server. Unfortunately, we cannot provide any specific ETA on it yet.

Please let us know if you have other questions.

Hello Andreas,

I'm glad to hear you've figured out the issue!

Will there be a possibility in the future to program the software in such a way that a network card can be assigned to it, similar to Hyper-V

Thank you for the suggestion. We will certainly add this feature to our wishlist, so it would be implemented in our future updates.

Please do not hesitate to reach us if you have other questions.

Hello Deividas,

Thank you for your message.

Unfortunately, the Set text for blank screen feature has already been discontinued and we do not have plans for implementing it again. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Please let us know if you have other questions.

Hello Andreas,

Thank you for the clarification.

Before we proceed to further troubleshooting could you please try flushing your DNS cache by executing the following command in the command-line interface:

ipconfig /flushdns

In case if after flushing the DNS cache the issue still persists, could you please send us the Host logs as well as the Viewer logs and the Server log files for examination?
Here's how to locate the Viewer logs.
The Host logs are located in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Remote Utilities - Host\Logs\ folder.
The Server logs can be found in the following locations:
Event and error log — C:\Program Files (x86)\Remote Utilities - Server\Logs
Connection log — C:\Program Files (x86)\Remote Utilities - Server\stat
You can send all the log files to support@remoteutilities.com.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello Jay,

I'm glad to hear you've figured out the issue!

So I guess my problem is due to a self hosted server which I expect to be out of version... Maybe you could build this into your following viewers: Some kind of message if the version is too old? :)

Yes, the version mismatch between Remote Utilities modules may lead to performance issues and some features not working. Please double check that the RU Server is updated to the most recent version (as of this writing it's 2.8.2.0, it's available for the download here). Please note that if the self-hosted server (RU Server) is used, it's highly recommended to update it to the most recent version too.
As for the suggested feature - we already have a similar feature for the Host, (e.g. once the newer version of the Host is available, an exclamation point appears next to the remote connection in the address book). We also already have a similar feature for the RU Server in our wishlist and it will be implemented in our future updates.

I'll recheck this by any means since it really interests me. Could even be a blocked port by my router (the external router-server runs on a special port).

Of course, please feel free to let us know if there are any updates on what was causing the issue. Also, here's an Internet-ID connection troubleshooting guide that might be helpful in determination of the issue's reason.

Please let us know if you have other questions.
