Hi I am using Barrier 2.3.3 and unable to connect to server running in windows 10 from client in raspberry . I have tried with screen name and server Ip on the client side .
My suspicion is in the windows firewall but I can see the rule in firewall.
I don't see anything in server logs and can see on wireshark on server side that message from client is coming but nothing going back.

Enclosing screen shots.

Can someone help ?

Thanks,
mohit

I stumbled on this issue aswel.
I took sum time on digging on this issue, and resolved it pretty quickly.

{Solution}
From within Windows .. Open the firewall tab, and hit the allow other apps.
Hit the barrier one and change the port listed there to the one u run the service on.
Like for example if u changed barrier it's service port from the default to a different one then the port listed under firewall needs to be readjusted.

Quite a simple issue. And this will solve the issue.
Enjoy cheers.
