Not much to go on here.  Could provide more feedback on what is wrong.

Were you trying to install SystemLink Server or deploy software to a target? Can you include a screenshot of the failure? 

If this was a deployment to a target issue can you go to the History view and double click on the failure and then expand the Return section and post what you find.

Hi Guys,

i have the same problem when trying to install software from the SystemLink Server to one of the Clients.

Package "test" is included in the repository.

Any hints?

Thanks a lot

Check the feed that is configured for the target to make sure the URL is a routable IP address from the target.  As a simple test you can copy the feed URL that is configured for the target into a browser web browser on the target and append /Packages (http://myServer/nirepo/v1/files/feeds/myCustomFeed/Packages).  If it downloads the packages file everything is configured correctly.  If you get a file not found then your target doesn't have access to your server or your web server isn't configured for remote access.

If you intend to host feeds from your server you must enable remote access for other clients on the web server.

Hi Joshua,

thanks a lot for your quick feedback.
I activated "Also accept connections from public networks"

Not it works. I guess i had to enable that because the client is running on a

virtual machine which has its own subnet.

Thanks

Andreas
