Hi all,
**Cluelessness disclaimer: I know very little about servers, and am only forced into this situation because the person who originally set up the system left town.**
I'm in a satellite office, and I use an offsite license manager to run one of my software programs (ESRI's ArcGIS). We have an MS ISA server as the backbone for our little network. On my current Win2k box, the system works great. However, I got a new XP box that will not connect. When I attempt to do so, I get this error:
Cannot connect to license server
The server (lmgrd) has not been started yet, or
the wrong port@host or license file is being used, or the
port or hostname in the license file has been changed.
FLEXlm error: -15,10. System Error: 10061 "WinSock: Connection refused"
I know that the connection *is*, in fact, working, because if I swap my Win2k box back in I can run the software; therefore the problem isn't in the off-site server.
Also, the XP box allows the connection without a hitch if I plug it into another (also off-site) network; therefore the problem isn't related to the XP settings.
Soooo, I assume the problem is due to something in the ISA server that's configured to allow incoming messages to reach specific IP addresses: for instance, my Win2k box but not the new XP one. I've poked around in the ISA server and found that the person who is no longer in town configured a new packet filter ("GIS"
. I thought my problems were solved. However, as far as I can tell, the filter is completely open, and there's no specification of particular IP addresses.
Is there any place else that I can look, or does anyone have any suggestions about what might be going on? At this point I'm really at a loss.
Thanks!
