[ome-users] Cannot connect remotely to OMERO.server

[Chris Allan]

Hi Javier,

What you are looking at largely applies to OMERO versions before 4.0.  
So, I wouldn't worry at all about /etc/hosts. /etc/host.conf is also a  
specific file that's related to name lookup so you are barking up the  
wrong tree here I'm afraid.

I'm going to assume based on your previous e-mails that you have this  
server running on Windows, yes? Have you tried disabling the Windows  
firewall?
