Troubleshooting

If you’re having problems connecting, there’s a few things that could be causing the problem. Below are some of the common problems and solutions you can attempt.

Remote Desktop can’t find the computer. This usually means one of three things:

• There is no internet connection.

  Some connections can be unstable, especially in remote areas or wireless. Try going to www.google.com and type in “Hello World” first to be sure.

• Your DNS is having problems. Try the below steps and connect again:

  1. Right-click your Moneypenny shortcut and select Edit (if manual, select Open)
  2. Change the Computer name to the below depending on your region:
     
     • Australia
     • New Zealand
     • United Kingdom
     • South Africa

     27.50.72.20

     103.49.172.31

     217.147.85.135

     129.232.228.218

  3. Try to Connect again.

• A firewall is blocking the connection.

  Some businesses or ISPs block connections on certain ports, causing you to be unable to connect while on their networks. To check if this is the case, try the below:

  1. Press Windows + R to open up the Run window.
  2. Type in CMD and press enter.
  3. In the new window, type in the below depending on your region.
     
     • Australia
     • New Zealand
     • United Kingdom
     • South Africa

     ping aus.moneypenny-group.com

     Australia has three IPs that need to be unblocked if a firewall is present:
     27.50.72.20
     27.50.72.21
     27.50.72.23

     ping epnz.mydaes.online

     New Zealand has two IPs that need to be unblocked if a firewall is present:
     103.49.172.31
     103.49.172.32

     ping uk.mydaes.online

     The UK has three IPs that need to be unblocked if a firewall is present:
     217.147.85.135
     217.147.85.136
     217.147.85.141

     ping 129.232.228.218

  This will send four packets to the server. If there is 0% loss, there is likely a firewall on the network blocking you from connecting to the server. It is recommended to contact your network administrator and ask them to unblock TCP port 3389 for the four digit number that you pinged above. They should know what to do with this.
