totalcomputerbackup and firewalls
In most cases TOTALcomputerbackup will work through your firewall without any issues or need for you to do anything, however if you do experience an issue that you feel may be firewall related we recommend that you first check your client log to see what error message is appearing.
If you are getting this error message:
"cannot connect to rmi registry 44400, connection refused to host"
This means your firewall is blocking TOTALcomputerbackup from backing up over the Internet.
If a firewall is present it must allow outgoing TCP connections to ports in the range 44400-44408 and 44450.
The TOTALcomputerbackup service is called javaw.exe and this should be allowed.
Once allowed through your firewall, TOTALcomputerbackup should run fine and without problems. If you keep getting this error message please contact your firewall provider for assistance.
