    Probably another application is preventing ServersCheck from creating a socket on port 1272 by using Winsock. Try stopping IIS and SQL server to see if they interfer. Sometimes MS products tend to block all available ports exclusively. We have also been reported that Anti-virus software could block the socket connection.

    Do you have Winsock installed on your computer?
  • sumeshsumesh

    Hello

    I dont think so ....I never installed it ...how can i chk that

    I checked with Development and Winsock is delivered with the installer.



    We made a small change in the configuration server that we would like you to test out.



    You can download an updated version of it here:

    http://www.serverscheck.com/files/s-server.zip



    Replace the existing s-server.exe with the one you downloaded and try to start it. Could you please copy the output like you did in the initial post?

    We tested it with some users on W2K platforms and there were it caused an issue, it now seems to be resolved.

    Due to too many abuses in the past, we do not offer trial versions of the Enterprise or Professional version. Instead we offer an unconditional 30 money back guarantee.



    You can test out SMS in several ways:

    1/ if you want to send SMS through a data modem then follow the instructions in the help file

    2/ For ClickATell please visit their website for a free trial account of sending out sms messages. I can guarantee that the ClickATell service works...

    Probably the serverscheck.conf file is correct. Open it with notepad and check if there are 3 lines or 2 lines in it after the line starting with "# checktype"

    Take a look at the help file:

    http://www.serverscheck.com/help5/definevoicephone.html



    You need to download the TTS engine from the link in the help file.



    VoicePhone is not really recommended to use: the system will try to call you but if you do not pickup/respond then the call will be lost. With email & SMS alerts, the message is delivered and can be viewed anytime. The voice phone will only try once.
