AMS PC on LAN / TestPC on WAN, firewall in between. Add a machine to AMS: Fails.
Hi,
I'm using a firewall between the PC with AMS installed and the PC to backup (TestPC).
The License Server is installed on the AMS PC using the LAN IP address of the AMS PC.
The AMS PC has a NATted IP address on the WAN.
Remote installation of Agent for Windows is ok.
When I "Add a machine to AMS" for TestPC it fails.
With Wireshark I could see that the TestPC tries to access the License Server on the AMS PC LAN IP address (which cannot be found on the WAN). It seems that the AMS is sending the AMS PC LAN IP address to the TestPC as the location of the License Server.
As a work-around I have added a static route on the TestPC, pointing to the Firewall WAN IP address. Like this: route add [AMS PC LAN IP] [Firewall WAN IP].
This works, but is there no other way to tell the TestPC where the License Server is ?
Thanks,
Bas
