[AG-TECH] Troubleshooting Configuration of Server Node over LAN

[Fabrizio.Berdondini at prototipo.it]

Hello,

I need some help: I'm trying to configure 2 PCs over a LAN, both with XP 
Pro, to have them acting, respectively, as venueserver and venueclient. 
They both have fixed IPs, which are 192.168.2.214 for the server and 
192.168.2.218 for the client. The seocond also runs a small node (Philips 
TouCAM, headphone, mic).
I also configured some venues on the server and gave them access via the 
Lobby default venue.
When I try to access the venues on the server, however, I receive the 
error "can not connect to venue located at ... etc. etc.". I tried to 
access the venues on the server both referencing it as IP address: 
https://192.168.2.218:8000/Venues/default or network name: 
https://<pcname>:8000/Venues/default. 
I also tried this:
1) launched the venue server on the machine at 192.168.2.218
2) launched the venue client on the same machine (192.168.2.218) and tried 
to connect to the server, referencing it as: localhost, 
192.168.2.218:8000, <pcname.domain>:8000,<pcname>:8000: in all four cases 
the connection was successful, meaning that the node/client is well 
configured

3) launched venue server on the machina at 192.168.2.214
4)  launched the venue client on the same machine (192.168.2.214) and 
tried to connect to the server, referencing it as: localhost, 
192.168.2.214:8000, <pcname.domain>:8000, <pcname>:8000: in all four cases 
the connection was successful, meaning that also the server seems to be 
well configured and running. I left the venueclient connectet to the venue 
server on the same machine then
5) tried to connect the venueclient on 192.168.2.214 to the server at 
192.168.2.218 and no luck referencing it as 192.168.2.214:8000, 
<pcname.domain>:8000 or <pcname>:8000: I got the error message mentionned 
before
6) after getting the error message on the venueclient on 192.168.2.218 I 
looked onto the venueclient on the other machine and... SURPRISE!       It 
seemed I was online and active inside the lobby venue, even if on the 
venueclient on the 192.168.2.218 machine I was indicated as not connected 
to any venue.
 
I really have no clue... anyone can help please?
Thank you very much.
Faber B.
