TP General - Basic questions to be asked before troubleshooting CoSession Remote 32

Applicable to: World-Wide

  1. What protocol are you trying to connect using? Is this protocol loaded?
  2. Do the computers see each other over the desired protocol? IE - if using TCP/IP, can you ping the computers, if using NetBEUI/NetBIOS or IPX/SPX, can you use Net Diag, and if you are using a modem, can the computers connect over HyperTerminal?
  3. Do the computers have compatible IP addresses, subnet masks and workstations?
  4. Is CoSession Remote loaded on both machines?
  5. Are both machines set up to "talk" to each other over the same protocol?
  6. Is one of the machines in a wait for connect state?
  7. Is the other machine trying to connect, or is it also in a wait for connect state?
  8. If you are tying to connect over a modem, do you have a modem installed on each computer?
  9. Does CoSession see the proper modem on each computer?
  10. Do you have the correct phone number entered into the properties page of the computer that is trying to connect to the computer that is in a wait for connect state?
  11. If you are running an evaluation copy of CoSession Remote, has the evaluation time period expired?
