I have a problem where I cannot get access to Cumulus MX from another computer in my network. I know the problem is the Windows (7) firewall as when I turn off the firewall I have access. I have allowed Cumulus access through it (and checked - it is ticked in allowed programs), but still cannot get it to work.
I have port forwarded to the computer with Cumulus MX on, but still now joy.
Is there any other tips that I could try? Do I have to give .net framework access? If so , how?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Access through Windows Firewall
What can't you access - the web interface at all? What ports have you allowed for MX? By default, it needs 8998 for the http browser interface, and 8002 for web sockets (unless you choose to use Ajax instead).

Re: Access through Windows Firewall
And what did you do to fix it, I have the same problem.coercri wrote:I've just this moment sorted it - but thank you anyway.
Got it!
Had to create an inbound rule to allow TCP port 8998 and a second rule to allow TCP 8002 through the firewall on my Windows Server 2012R2 server. CumulusMX.exe is running as a service btw.
All working now.
