Using RowPro at a School or Gym

In this scenario:

You are running RowPro in your company PC at a school or business.
You do not have full administrative control over your PC settings.
Your RowPro PC is connected to the Internet via your school or company network.

Under these conditions, RowPro is unlikely to already have the permissions it needs to connect to the Internet. Possible issues are:

 

Issue

Description

Action to resolve issue

Firewall Warning TCP Port 80, or just no-go

You might get a warning from your Windows, school or company firewall the first time RowPro needs to connect to the Internet saying RowPro is attempting to connect to the Internet via TCP Port 80. You might also not get a warning - it might simply not work.

Click Yes to allow RowPro to access the Internet via TCP Port 80. If you cannot change this setting, you will need assistance from your school or company PC administrator.

Firewall Warning UDP Port 9300, or just no-go

You might get a warning from your Windows Firewall the first time you click Session Setup / Online saying RowPro is attempting to connect to the Internet via UDP Port 9300. You might also not get a warning - it might simply not work.

Click Yes to allow RowPro to access the Internet via UDP Port 9300. If you cannot change this setting, you will need assistance from your school or company PC administrator.

Internet access administratively blocked

Your school or company PC administrator may have configured your PC to prevent you as a user from accessing the Internet, or to prevent any other application besides your Web Browser from accessing the Internet.

If you cannot change these settings, you will need assistance from your school or company PC administrator.

Internet access is via a Proxy Server

Your school or company may use a Proxy Server to access the Internet.

You will need to configure RowPro to use your company's Proxy Server.

To do this:

Check the Proxy Server settings your PC Web Browser uses (in Internet Explorer this is in Tools / Internet Options / Connection / Proxy Server)
Copy the Proxy Server settings your PC Web Browser uses into RowPro / Control Center / System Settings / Proxy Server.
