[xymon] bbwin on windows server 2008 - no data sent to bbdisplay

[Storer, Raymond]

Thanks. Well, so much for that thought. *smile* Assuming the "x.x.x.x:1984" has a valid and correct IP in your original files the below config looks good to me.

Back to the firewall... have you tried disabling the firewall service, rebooting, and then seeing if you see any reports from this machine? You can try simply stopping the firewall service if you like, but I've seen the network stack get pretty stupid after just stopping it--so, I recommend a disable and a reboot.

> Can you please post your BBWin.cfg file (obfuscating any IPs etc, of course)? If the firewall is not the problem it sounds like the server is not correctly defined in the BBWin.cfg file. Please note, if you have not disabled the UAC (which I strongly recommend you DO NOT) you will need to either change the permissions on the BBWin.cfg file so you can edit and save it or start notepad.exe as an Administrator in order to successfully save your changes.
