• IP address and TCP port number you have set for virtual modem match the server’s ones • TCP port is not blocked either by your firewall, or by your ISP (Internet service provider). In order to check that, try to telnet remote host on TCP port you specified. Click Windows “Start” button and choose “Run” option. Type in “cmd” to launch MS-DOS prompt. In the new window appeared type the following: telnet remote_host_IP_address TCP_port_number where remote_host_IP_address and TCP_port_number are correct and match the ones you have set in your configuration settings. Hit “Enter” button and try to send anything from remote port to see if you are connected. Additionally, Virtual Modem PRO requires that TCP port 8888 and 8889 are opened in order to be able to create connection configuration and establish port-to-port links.
