-i am trying to install the panda antivirus client on a vista business pc
-when entering this:
telnet [that computer's ip] 19226
....from another computer, it says
'could not open connection to the host, on port 19226: connect failed'
-communication on this port is required for the panda client to function and
be managed properly (it needs to communicate with the panda admin console on
another pc)
-thus, when i try to install the panda communications agent (which is what
'needs' port 19226, it's installation fails, and it seems to be due to that
port being blocked by something
-i have turned off the windows defender and windows firewall, but i still
cannot telnet to that port

-is there anything in windows that coudl be blocking this port?

-also, the panda communication agent install instructions say to enable
"password protected sharing" in the network and sharing center
-this "password protected sharing" option is not in this compouter's ...center
-yet there is a screen shot of the same ...center with this option in the
instructions

-how can i get that option to show up on this pc so that i can tun it on?

-i have been on the phone with a panda tech for over 2 hours trying to
figure this out...


thank you in advance...

Hi Michael,

You can get this error message if nothing is listening on the port - ie,
maybe no process at all is listening on 19226.

Anyway, you can see exactly what is listening on which ports, by running the
'netstat' command:

C:\>netstat -ano

I'd normally suspect a firewall is blocking the port. If you're sure the
firewall has been disabled, the next most likely cause would be that no
process at all is listening on port 19226

Hope it helps,
