Spinalogic does a lot of communication over your network to keep all the instances around your office in sync.

If they are not staying in sync, it’s usually because your firewall is blocking it. Do the following test to check and to allow you to keep working… but you must not leave the firewall off indefinitely as it is a security risk.

Open Windows Firewall

On the affected machine:

Hit ‘Windows-R’ (the Windows logo key at the bottom of your keyboard plus the ‘R’ key together). Type ‘firewall.cpl’ without the quotes:

run-firewall

Press enter. You’ll get the firewall settings. Click ‘Turn Windows Firewall on or off’ at the left:

firewall-settings

Turn both the Private and Public firewalls off:

firewall-turned-off

Hit ‘OK’.

Windows XP looks a bit different but it’s the same idea.

Remember, you must not leave the firewall off indefinitely but for a few days it’s OK. Let support know so they can make a permanent exception in your firewall.

How did this happen?

Sometimes when you update Spinalogic it will ask you if you want to allow it to make changes. If you say no, this can happen.
