KB ID: 115127  

Issue:

Unable to establish connection with Server Proxy. 

Cause:

This issue occurs when the client cannot communicate with the Server Proxy due to one or more of the following reasons:

  • No active network or internet connectivity on the client machine

  • The Server Proxy service is stopped or unreachable

  • Incorrect Server Proxy IP address or hostname configuration

  • Required communication ports are blocked by a firewall or security policy

  • Temporary service or network interruption affecting the Server

Solution

  1. Verify Network Connectivity

    • Ensure the client machine has active network or internet access.

    • Test connectivity by pinging a known internal or external address.

  2. Check Server Proxy Service Status

    • Confirm that the Server Proxy service is running on the server.

    • Restart the service if it is stopped or unresponsive.

  3. Validate Server Proxy Configuration

    • Verify that the configured Server Proxy IP address or hostname is correct.

    • Ensure there are no typos or outdated entries in the configuration.

  4. Confirm Port Accessibility

    • Check that all required communication ports are open on both the client and server.

    • Review firewall, antivirus, or security appliance rules that may be blocking traffic.

  5. Retry the Connection

    • After completing the above steps, retry the operation from the client machine.
