Hello everyone,

I am currently experimenting with INDI servers on my Raspberry Pi 4, running Ubuntu Server 64-bit. I installed all INDI libraries and finally started an INDI server.
Now, I wanted to test this server with the Ekos on my laptop running Ubuntu.

Given that where I work I cannot connect them through internet (Firewall issues), I connected the RB to the PC directly with an ethernet cable. However, I started the server with:
indiserver -v
    the server is operative and listening to port 7624. (as you can see in attached picture)

    Then, I open Ekos and try to connect to the server with "Device Manager" -> "Client".
    I add a new host using the name of the RB user, and using 7624 as port.
    However, it says that it failed to connect to INDI server.

    Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

    Thank you in advance!

Do you try to connect to spirepi.local? If that doesn't work enter directly IP address of RPi that you can get by running "ip addr" command

Check if there is a network route to the RPi IP from your PC. i.e. Does it respond to pings from your PC?
