Server not working

Brent Seres/ VE3CUS

I have been using an older laptop using windows 7 to run SDR server in the basement and console upstairs. Everything has worked well until the last several days, and now console says it can't connect to the remote server. Using console on basement computer works okay. Any ideas?
Thanks

Exactly what is the message? Laptop may have a new DHCP address.

Hi Simon. I checked the IP and it looks good. Also, one of the IPs is static so it never changes. further research required I guess. Message says the server is in use, even though it's not.

How old is the SDRC Server on the downstairs machine? i.e. What's the version number?
When you look at the "Connections" tab in the server manager, do you see phantom users? i.e. A user listed but on frequency of 0 MHz and using the server for days, hours, minutes, seconds? I found if I installed Simon's World Map, it would install the proper C++ Redistributables.
To clear a phantom user, you have to open the "Service" tab of the server manager, hit "Stop", and if it doesn't lock up, hit "Remove", then lastly "Install". When it locks up, you'll have to kill the manager via Taskmanager. Even then it may not go away. Sometimes an entire re-boot is necessary. Lately (last 6 months or so) I've had no issues with my 5 servers. Only one runs on W7, and it was a PIA to get the proper C++ Redistributable.
I found if I installed Simon's World Map on my W7 netbook for SDRC Server #3 and an SDRAnywhere server, it would install the proper C++ Redistributables.

OK,

Looks like firewall - the IP address can be reached but the port is either blocked or nothing's listening on the port. As you know the server's running then it must be a firewall.

Okay, I got it sorted. Thanks for everyone's help. Looks like the server went into sleep mode because it was idle. When I disabled that, it started to work properly.

Actually,

I think there's a setting which will wake a sleeping computer when traffic on a port is detected. Or I may be going crazy 🙂 .

I can pass comment on you going crazy.

What you were thinking about is what we used to call the MAGIC PACKET which raised a slumbering networked machine back to life.

I assume it exists still. Every time I come across a reference to Wake On LAN (WOL) I keep hearing George Harrison singing.

I get the same error on Super Station #4, but mine is the Ethernet connection gets horked up. I have to disable the Ethernet controller and re-enable it in the Windows Network Connections menu. This same W7 netbook also runs a Remotehams.com server feeding two Icom IC-7300.
From what I can forensically find, it happens when a select user doesn't shut down the Icom rig when exiting. Even though the RCForb server app turns off the radio after 60 sec, I can see the exact time when the SDRC Server and RCForb server go offline.
None of the other SDRC Servers that also do double duty at RCForb servers running W10 do this. i.e. KA1GJU@PCARC or KA1GJU Super Station #2.
Maybe time to replace the aging W7 netbook?

Time to climb the 128' tower and swap out the 2M repeater antenna on the farm here while its above 10c and NO WIND...

Hi Chris

I think you're right. The laptop is probably reaching end of life

It requires a special packet. Wake On Lan.

There is a setting in most computer BIOS settings that allow wake on lan.

Mine are set to wake on button press and wake on power restore. At the moment all my PCs are NUCs to save on electricity costs.
