InoculateIT6 across a router...

[Chewie71]

I've got InoculateIT6 workgroup edition. I've got it set up and all the client workstations on the local network are installed and I can pull them up in the Administrator view on the WinNT server. However, I have some clients at another location that pass through a couple routers. I have the client configured on them too, but they will not/cannot show up in the list of clients on the server. I try doing a refresh...try scanning the other network for clients...nothing allows me to add them. Any ideas???

Thanks,
Matt

Discocery doesn't work due to the fact that bradcast normally are blocked by routers. Use Specified election and input the IP Adress/Subnet mask of a server running InoculateIT6.0 on the remote subnet. This server will reply to broadcasts from the adminserver. I use the enterprise version of InoculateIT and don't know the workgroup edition, but I hope the workgroup edition will work the same way... Regards Sam

Sam,

Thanks for the response. Problem is I have no server on the other subnet. Just a bunch of Win98 workstations so... The best I can do right now is just manually set each workstation to pull from the server on the main subnet rather than controlling them directly from the InoculateIT AdminConsole on the main server. Kind of a pain...

The whole thing should also works with W9x machines. (We're just using NT nd W2K boxes) The only problem is, that this machine must me available (means running) when the server polls the subnet... Otherwise, you could reconfigure the routers to pass the broadcast over the port mentioned in the docu of the admin console, but sending broadcast over WAN links isn't a good idea...

Hope this helps
