My devices (Andriod Tablet and iphone) are on my wireless network, and my PC is on my wired network, all connected to the same network. Does my PC have to be on the same wireless network as my devices in order for DisplayFusion Remote to work?

I tried adding my PC manually using https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/working-with-displayfusion-remote/?ID=484225c5-ea8c-436b-8bf6-5142d7ba96c6 but it times out and the app crashes. I have verified DisplayFusion has complete firewall access.

As long as they're both on the same subnet you should at least be able to add the computer by its IP address. Are the IP addresses on the computer and the phone/tablet in the same range? (e.g. all are in 192.168.1.x)

Yes they are. I have also allowed Display Fusion to have access to every port and not be blocked by the firewall whatsoever.

Ok, on the computer, if you do the following at a command prompt:

netstat -a | findstr 21452

does it return something like this?

TCP 0.0.0.0:21452 COMPUTERNAME:0 LISTENING

Hi Luke,

Is nothing showing up in the list to connect to, or is it failing to connect?

Thanks!

Hi Luke,

Could you send me over a screenshot of your Remote Control tab settings in Display Fusion?

Thanks!

Hello.

I'm having an identical issue, nothing found on searches and 'unable to connect' appears after trying manually to connect to the computer's ipv4 address. They are on the same subnet.

after running the netsh commend I do receive the' 0.0.0.0:21452 COMPUTERNAME:0 listening' message you indicated.

Please help, I just bought your software specifically for this function :S

Hi Ian,

Thanks for sending that over. Is DisplayFusion allowed through your firewall as well?

Thanks!

Hi Ian,

Could you send me over a debug log? Here are the steps:

  • On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and click Apply
  • Reproduce the issue and note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
  • Click the "Export Info to File" button on the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
  • Reply with the file attached
  • Disable debug logging after sending the log

Thanks!

Hello,

Are your phone and PC on the same subnet? Is DisplayFusion allowed in your firewall as well?

Thanks!

When you open the DisplayFusion app on your phone, does it not show your computer, or does it show it but fail to connect?

Thanks!

Do you have another computer on the same network that you could run a test from? If so, could you run this in a PowerShell prompt and send a screenshot of the output:

Code

Test-NetConnection -ComputerName [ip-address-of-DF-host] -Port 21452


Thanks!

Code

New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName 'DisplayFusion Remote' -Profile 'Private' -Direction Inbound -Action Allow -Protocol TCP -LocalPort 21452
