Remote CDU not working on Android device

[t4murphy 24]

I sent a ticket to Marc on this already. After last win 10 update I could no longer get the remote CDU to pull up on my Android tablet nor the android note 5 phone. Works perfectly on my win 10 laptop though. This was same issue for the WEBfmc for Xplane 11. For some reason it seems to only cooperate on another windows 10 device. Any ideas. I have most recent remote CDU since I had it working fine on the android tab with the new PMDG 747-8 soon after upgrading the remote CDU just after release. I heard of the file deleting issues with the recent Win 10 upgrade but not compatibility issues with android devices. Anybody else having this problem?

I'm closely following this one.

Tim, have you tried reverting from the last Win10 update?

in general, if it works on your PC but can't connect from an external device, then this is a sign that something is blocking the connection.

Do you have another PC in your network? Can you access files on your FS PC through the network? Can you ping it?

Regards

Mark

Connects externally to my win 10 laptop and remotely on existing dedicated pc. It likes fellow windows device. Probably some setting in win10. Tried restoring to prior state. But to no avail. Might have to stick with a win10 tablet until solved. My computer knowledge is limited in how these things work. I'm okay with a cheap win 10 tablet just dedicated to this. It almost something I can't live without like my trackIR and dual quadrant saitek setup.

Everything working now for xplane webfmc and remote CDU. Not sure if it was just turning on sharing which was off. Who knows. Just glad its working.

I have had exactly the same problem after installing win 10 updates. For some reason, the brilliant minds at microsoft decided that their updates need to reset sharing settings. Has happened to me 2 or 3 times with win 10 updates.

Kind Regards,

I cannot get the remote CDU to pull up on my Android tablet using Win7-64 , PMDG737, using e.g., CDU/port (32111) .

I think Avast is blocking it?

Fixed: My Avast Firewall (public network rather than private) was blocking the connection.

Thanks Vaughan for the feedback.

Yes, 3rd party firewall / antivirus applications can cause issues unfortunately.
