FAQ

The following is a list of possible situations that may arise during the use of your product. Simple answers and solutions are provided for each :

A message (shown below) repeatedly appears while installing NCT-2000-XP. What is the problem?

When you try to install NCT-2000-XP using the Installation CD, it compares the contents of the CD with the latest version in the NComputing server. The message appears when the computer is not connected to the Internet or the port is blocked by a program such as a firewall. The reason why the message appears repeatedly is that there are multiple NComputing servers on the network. The redundant servers allow users to download the latest version of the software even if some are down or unreachable.

Our company is using a firewall. Which ports should be opened to use a PC Expanion?

The port numbers are as follows. TCP Port: 27605, 3581, 3597, 3645,

3646, 3725, UDP Port: 1027, 1283.

The port numbers are subject to change without notice.

If NCT-2000-XP Installation CD is not available, can I download the latest version of the program?

Yes, you can download the latest version of the program. However, unlike installing it with the CD, you have to select the option to search for NComputing servers as follows when you try to install the latest program. Click <Start> <All Programs> <Accessories> <Command Prompt> or click <Start> <Run>, type ‘cmd’ and click OK. If the DOS command prompt window appears, change directory to the NCT-2000-XP program folder and type ‘Setup.exe/ftpon’. Then the NComputing servers are searched and the program is updated with the latest version.
