I just completed the installation of Ignition Gateway on a fresh installation of Windows Server 2016, but i can’t get access to it from a different computer on the same network. Am I missing any setting on the Windows Server side? Had not issue on a similar installation before. Any hint will be greatly appreciated! ---

Welcome! Which Ignition version? Likely a firewall issue… ---

1. Can you ping the server? 2. Can you access it using Remote Desktop? 3. Is the gateway webserver running? Check using a browser on the gateway at `http://localhost:8088/`. 4. Then check it from another computer at `http://:8088`. ---

Thanks Transistor, Yes to question #1, #2, and #3; but i can’t get through from a different computer. I do have the same configuration on a similar Windows Server 2016, the only deviation is that this one is running Ignition gateway Version 8.1.18, the working one is running Version 8.1.11. I will contact IT to compare Windows Server configuration ---
