First of all I've tried to make a local test with no results (my machine doesn't appear in the computers browsing). If I force the agent make de .ocs file and I import it it works but not the autoreporting. If you could help me.... For example, if I've this IP: 100.15.1.25, the network configuration (server side) will be: net adress: 100.15.1.0 mask: 255.255.255.0 And in the client side: server adress = 100.15.1.25 port = 80 no proxy = False Any suggestion?
