Version 6.5 BETA

That makes sense. Thanks!

Here is about connections, in a nutshell:

- Connections can be either direct or indirect (Internet-ID). You can select which type when creating a new connection in the address book.

- Direct connections are the simplest. The Viewer connects to the Host without any relay server in-between, usually on the same network (LAN or VPN).

- Internet-ID connections use a relay server as a facilitator. The default relay server option is our public server infrastructure. Alternatively, you can set up your own self-hosted server, which can provide some added features apart from the relay feature/role.  

I believe that general information just helps understand specifics, so I hope this will be helpful.

Thank for helping us make the program better :)

This tutorial might be helpful - Connecting over LAN

Version 6.5 BETA

It is the IP address of one of our Internet-ID servers, in California.

You see this IP address because:

1. You use Internet-ID connection type.
2. The Internet-ID relay server infrastructure (a relay server) is our public one. You can see that in connection Properties -> General tab, under the "internet-ID" radio button.  

The fact that the remote PC is in your LAN has nothing to do with this. If you need to use direct connection within your LAN , that is - without an intermediary server in-between - simply select the "Direct connection" radiobutton in connection properties and specify the local IP address or hostname of your computer/server.

Hello Jason,

What IP is this? This server is local to my LAN, and that IP doesn't match my external IP.

Is it from the "Last IP" column?

I see. Before we try to diagnose I recommend that you install the latest beta, you can take it from here https://www.remoteutilities.com/download/beta.php . If it's a bug, it well may have been already fixed in the beta. If the problem persists even with the beta, we'll see further what it might be.

Please, make sure that you upgrade both parts - i.e. Viewer and Host - to avoid version mismatch.

Hello,

Thank you for your message.

Have you tried to restart the remote PC after Host installation?

Hi Peter,

You are welcome. I can assure you that we'll do our best to report as many false positives as we can and reduce the number of them to a minimum or even zero. Reporting false positives on our software to a/v software companies is an ongoing work that we do on a regular basis.

Don't hesitate to post here if you ever need any assistance.

Hi Peter,

No, you don't have to go anywhere to activate it, of course. The host should run upon installation and even restart is not needed in most cases.

This looks like antivirus software activity. Before you reinstall the Host, could you please add the Host installation path to your AVG exceptions list. The path is C:\Program Files\Remote Utilities - Host\* . Asterisk means "any file within the folder". If you have a 64-bit system your path will be C:\Program Files(x86)\Remote Utilities - Host\*

Also, I recommend you use the latest beta. You can download it here https://www.remoteutilities.com/download/beta.php

Hello Peter,

Thank you for your post.

Looks like the Host service won't start for some reason or installation got corrupted somehow. Could you tell me what the operating system is on the Host PC and which product version you use (stable or beta)?

You might also want to try to complete wipe the Host installation and re-install from scratch. See this documentation page. Note that if you are using the current beta version the registry key with Host settings is located here HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Usoris\

Hope that helps.

Hello Kenny,

Thank you for your message.

Could you please clarify what specific registry entry did you delete?
