Hello Jules,

Thank you for your message.

SPT varies between 5655 and 443.
Am I right that this is saying that the router is blocking the inbound RU access?

This might be pointing at the fact that both outbound TCP ports 5655/443 are blocked. Please note that at least one of these ports must be opened for Remote Utilities to be able to connect to our intermediary servers. For more information on ports used by Remote Utilities please see this page.

I have played with port forwarding and port triggering settings, without any success. I also don't see how those settings would differentiate between wired and wireless. Any help would be really appreciated.

I've forwarded the issue along with the provided router firewall logs to our development department and asked for their input on this. However, please note that this rather seems to be a network administration issue and requires assistance from a network administrator.

I'll get back to you with an update on the issue shortly.

Hello Kevin,

Thank you for your message.

How can we invite them if they don't have a licensed Viewer? Thanks.

Please note that despite its name, the Endpoint license key is applied in the Viewer just as well as the other license keys - for example. here is a quick guide on registering the program.
In this case, you can use our solution for spontaneous, attended support - Agent. Agent does not require installation and runs as an application under the current Windows user.
Alternatively, you can also provide the guest techs with a pre-registered copy of the Portable Viewer that stores all the files and configuration in a single folder.

Hope that helps.

Hello Laslo,

Thank you for your message.

Could you please let us know which version of Remote Utilities do you use? In case if you use version 6.10.10.0 or an older version, then please try updating your Remote Utilities installation to the latest 6.12 Beta 4 version as the issue might have already been fixed in the latest release.

The latest 6.12 Beta 4 version of Remote Utilities is available for download on this page.
When updating, please make sure to update both Host and Viewer to the same version in order to avoid the version mismatch that might lead to performance issues or some features not working.

Please let us know if the issue with the sound persists even after updating or if you already use the latest 6.12 Beta 4 version.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello,

Thank you for your patience.

I've checked with our developers - the issue with the Numpad keys will certainly be fixed in the next update of the Viewer Beta version for Mac/Linux.
As for the second issue with connecting to remote Hosts from Viewer on Ubuntu - we hope to be able to implement a fix for this in the next Beta version update as well. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Please let us know if you have other questions.

Hello,

Thank you for your message.

Could you please make sure that you have the virtual printer installed on the remote Host machine - it can be installed during the Host installation process or later in the Host Settings -> Driver tab.

In case if the virtual printer is installed, then you should be able to see a printer called Remote Utilities printer in the Devices and Printers menu on the remote Host machine. For more information please also see this page on the remote printing feature.
If the virtual printer is not installed on the remote machine yet, please try installing it and see if this helps to resolve the issue.

Please let us know if you already have the virtual printer installed or if the issue persists after its installation.

Hello Gaz,

I'm glad to hear you were able to figure out the issue and it works for you now!

I have been shunted to a Trial version and when I enter my license key and press add it instantly vanishes and doesnt get added
Any ideas appreciated as cant work without access!

Such issues are usually caused by the Viewer's configuration file config_4.xml being somehow damaged or corrupted. Deleting the config file is the most common solution since this resets the settings and allows Viewer to create a new configuration file automatically.

Please let us know if you have more questions.
