Tester agent issus: Local Network Farm doesn't work

Xiangdong Guo 2016.03.17 13:49

Setup PC-A/B/C in same local network (192.168.0.xxx), all PC are running Windows 10 64-bits, MT5 build 1241.

Setup Tester Agents service on PC-A, PC-B, ensure service is started and listening ports.

From PC-C, add agent via scan or manually, but didn't work anyway.

Shell I add some firewall rules on OS level?

Hi,

I have a similar issue.... PC-A(desktop , lan cable to wifi router) can use the agents from PC-B(laptop wifi connected) , but PC-B cant use PC-A's agents???

I have opened the firewalls on both PCs on our private network.

This has worked before, but that was before Windows 10!

Any ideas/suggestions would be appreiated.

Thanx

Hi similar issues I have encountered during window's update.
Mostly on windows 10, it updates and the settings got fucked up for a reason.

If the computer cannot be connected something's wrong either with the IP(static IP) or with the firewall.

If the computer on Farm is detected and executes insanely fast the tasks, then uninstall the services from the computer and reinstall them.

I was having the same issue as you.

SOLUTION:

1. Set your PC/Laptop as discoverable on the network!
2. Create "inbound" rules for the ports that you are using. Windows Firewall > Advanced Settings > Inbound Rules > New Rule ...

You should now be able to use your agents from both machines.

I solved the problem following your instructions!

Hi @Longsen Chen or Bobby Koteski - could you explain more about how you set up this rule(s)?

Thanks much! =)
