Hi All,
Here's a thought for the Centralization server and laptops...
If a laptop is on a LAN (directly or via VPN) then it will successfully report to the BBWin client running in Centralization mode, however if it is remote (home, on the road, whatever) then it will be unable to see the Centralization server, so it will not have its status reported to Hobbit. This is an issue.
Sure, this *could* be addresses by the laptop sending data to both the Centralization server and the Hobbit server, but this negates the benefits of the Centralization server - lowering Internet bandwidth.
What would be better is to be able to configure the BBWin client on the laptop to be able to connect directly to the Hobbit server ONLY if the connection to the Centralization server fails.
Thoughts?
I'm not sure to understand. Did you turn on centralized mode on BBWin ? There is no backend in hobbit for the moment, I'm surprised that you can use this mode.
Could you post your bbwin.cfg file so I can understand better the problem ?
