- Click Finish to finish the installation.
- Send an E-mail to help@igb.illinois.edu with the following
- your computer's IP address (while at IGB and not connected to the wireless network). Your computer's current IP address is: Template:USERIP
- Indicate if its a laptop or desktop.
- (Note) Your IGB IP address should be one of these 128.174.124.* , 128.174.125.* or 128.174.126.* where * is a number between 1-255
Open Windows 7 Firewall[edit]
- Go to Start
>> All Programs >> Accessories and right click on Command Prompt and select "Run As Administrator" - Now copy and paste the following into the command prompt and hit Enter on your keyboard:
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Retrospect TCP" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=497
- In the same command prompt also copy and paste this command in and hit Enter again:
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Retrospect UDP" dir=in action=allow protocol=UDP localport=497
- You may close the Command Prompt.
- Now your windows firewall will allow retrospect to communicate with the backup server.
