Unable to reconnect clients after moving server

Post#1 by Dimitri » 05 Jun 2023, 00:04

WAN IP Changed asa result of moving to a new location. I updated the dynamic DNS an set up port forwarding on new network equipment. Only 3 out of 86 clients have connected to the server. I even tried DMZ mode and still nothing. Any ideas?

Unable to reconnect clients after moving server

Dimitri,

If at least one client connected to the server then your network configuration is correct.

You need to wait until all clients are rebooted (or reboot them manually). Kiosks should connect to the server when DNS caches are cleared on the client's side.

Thanks
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.

Thanks. They all connected after the scheduled reboot.
