How to Troubleshoot Application Connectivity Problems

Sometimes, you might be able to access the network with some applications but not others. For example, you might be able to download your e-mail but not access Web servers. Or, you might be able to view pages on a remote Web server but not connect to the computer with Remote Desktop.

Several issues might cause these symptoms (in rough order of likelihood):

The remote service is not running. For example, Remote Desktop might not be enabled on the remote computer. Network Troubleshoot
The remote server has a firewall configured that is blocking that application's communications from your client computer.
A firewall between the client and server computer is blocking that application's communications.
Windows Firewall on the local computer might be configured to block the application's traffic.
The remote service has been configured to use a non-default port number. For example, Web servers typically use TCP port 80, but some administrators might configure TCP port 81 or a different port.
To troubleshoot an application connectivity problem, follow these steps:

Before you begin troubleshooting application connectivity, first verify that you do not have a name resolution problem. To do this, open a command prompt and run the command Nslookup servername. If Nslookup does not display an answer similar to the following example, you have a name resolution problem. See the section titled "How to Troubleshoot Name Resolution Problems" later in this tutorial.
C:\>nslookup sourcedaddy.com
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: sourcedaddy.com
Addresses: 50.22.4.99
Identify the port number used by the application.
