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

[Javier Diaz]

Hi Chris,

Thank you very much for your help. You were right about Windows 
firewall. We haven't taken into account this important detail. What we 
did was to configure the port 4063 for the java client accessing. 
OMERO.import and OMERO.insight connect successfully whit the server, now.

We also configure the port 8000 to access from an internet browser with 
webadmin and webclient, but we haven't been able to connect, yet (We 
access locally). We couldn't neither connect with the firewal disabled. 
Do you have any advice or recommendation about it?

A coworker is sending a similar message to the forum, as way to begin to 
participate in it.

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

Javier
