Hello Renato,

Thank you. We received and examined your log files.

The log shows that there are some issues with the Host connecting to your server: there is a socket error #11004. Here's a quote on the socket error from the Microsoft:

WSANO_DATA
11004
Valid name, no data record of requested type.
The requested name is valid and was found in the database, but it does not have the correct associated data being resolved for. The usual example for this is a host name-to-address translation attempt (using gethostbyname or WSAAsyncGetHostByName) which uses the DNS (Domain Name Server). An MX record is returned but no A record—indicating the host itself exists, but is not directly reachable.

See the full list of socket error codes.
Please, check that the DNS name of the server is resolved properly on the Host computer. Also, please try flushing the DNS cache.
In addition, please double check your network settings, e.g. set Google DNS servers instead of your ISPs in your TCP/IP properties.

Hope that helps.

Hello Marcus,

Thank you for your message.

Could you please clarify if you use the Host or the Agent module?
Also, please try referring to this guide on establishing the direct connection: https://www.remoteutilities.com/support/docs/connecting-over-lan/

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello Renato,

Thank you for the clarification.

Could you please send us the log files from the Host and the Viewer? Here's how to locate the log files: Host logs and the Viewer logs.
You can send them to support@remoteutilities.com. Please do not publish the logs on the forum, they are considered personal information.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello Andrej,

Thank you for your message.

The RU Server is not related to http(s), so the nginx configuration is not necessary. You can set up the RU Server on any machine with an external IP address and create a subdomain record in your DNS with a subdomain that points to this IP address.

Hope that helps.

Hello Brian,

Thank you for the details.

This time, I have noticed that the Remote Utilities icon DOES appear in the Taskbar, BUT ONLY during the install process - as soon as the process finishes, the icon disappears from the Taskbar.

The Host icon is not visible in the taskbar when the Host is running. The Host icon is located in the system tray, near the clock:

I can't find any way to know what the Internet ID is, or how I can set it.

You can right-click on the Host icon in the system tray and select Internet-ID Connection Settings...:

In the opened window select Get New ID:
