I have two identical edge projects both hosted on different Panel PCs on a private network. When connected to the private network I can hit the gateway and open designer on one of the panel PCs. But the other project I cannot. I believe everything to be the same across the gateways/projects and the PCs. I am not sure where to start here. I can ping both PCs so there is no connection issues as you can see in the attached picture. Any idea where to start troubleshooting this?

Log onto the PC you can't reach the Ignition Gateway on and see if the firewall is on, and if you need to add an exception for port 8088.

I’ve seen the manual add be a bit iffy at times, sometimes just deleting the last 8 of the port, type it again and hit enter and then it sees the gateway.

Use windows powershell instead to check the port.

```python
Test-NetConnection 192.168.1.22 -p 8088

```
