Confirm that the host computer is currently published to the ILS Server:

Confirm that both computers have an active connection to the internet.

If the host computer is behind a firewall, there are 3 op- tions to establish a connection.

•LapLink Firewall Service see ”Making an Internet con- nection to a computer behind a firewall”.

•Laplink Everywhere. See ”Connecting Over the Inter- net Using Laplink Everywhere

•Configure the firewallor router to allow LapLink con- nections over CTCP port 1547. For more informa- tion, visit www.laplink.com/support.

TIP Do not attempt to connect two computer over the internet through the same shared internet connection. The computers will share the same public IP Address, and will not be able to communicate. If you are testing a connec- tion before travelling, contact LapLink technical support staff to test the connection to the host for you. (Live Chat support is ideal for performing internet connection testing.)
