Choosing a remote machine

In this step (Fig.1) you are supposed to select a remote machine (a second computer) you want to synchronize Outlook data with. All accessible machines from your local network should be displayed in the list. You can either select a desired computer from the list or enter its name in the Other PC's name field and click Connection Test. Once the connection test is successful, click Next.

How to find out your computer's name?

To find out your computer's name, click Start, Control Panel, System. The name of your machine will be displayed in the resulting window (Fig.2).

If a desired remote computer is not in the list (Fig.1) and you cannot connect to it using Other PC's name field, Windows Firewall might be blocking it. Make sure CodeTwo Outlook Sync is allowed to communicate via Windows Firewall. Go to Start, Control Panel, Windows Firewall and click Allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall. Locate C2OutlookSync in the list and allow it for certain location types on both of your machines (Fig.3).

If this does not resolve your connection issue, check if your antivirus firewall is not blocking the program.
