hi
I am a deadline novice, and after installation, I use the Remote Control ->Execut Command on the client to send the shoutdown/r command. report errors: could not connect to machine at 192.168.1.230:17000 because: Due to the target computer actively rejecting, unable to connect Machine may be turned off, Launcher may not be running, or RemoteControl may be set to Blocked on the machine.
So is the machine running, and launcher service is on?
The client is running normally and can render houdini tasks normally.
I think I’ve seen this before, but not sure. The cause could vary.
Is there a firewall?
There is no firewall, all machines are on the internal network
You could check on the machine itself whether this port is open (sounds like it is not).
On linux
lsof -i :17000
Client, using Windows 10 system
You could use something like Test-NetConnection in Powershell
e.g.
Test-NetConnection -ComputerName "localhost" -Port 17000
On the client machine, use the command Test NetConnection ComputerName “localhost” - Port 17000. The 17000 port can be connected normally during testing.
Indeed this seems odd. Since it does not depend on DNS… it must be either a machine or network-wide firewall. Can’t think of another reason. On the machine, Windows defender may block certain ports.
It’s strange, I have already turned off the Windows Defender feature on the client machine. It still doesn’t work.
