Unable to reach arduino.mydevices.com:8442 - putty advice

Hi @Volkun,

It’s likely a network configuration issue on your end, I’m sure we can get to the bottom of it. Presuming you have a computer of some sort on your network (and that computer can ping your Arduino), we can try to verify your connection to arduino.mydevices.com

If it is running OS X or Linux, you can run

telnet arduino.mydevices.com 8442

on your command line.

If things are working, it will disconnect you right away, but you’ll get a message like “Connected to arduino.mydevices.com” first.

If you’re running Windows, you can download PuTTY: Download PuTTY: latest release (0.77) to make the same test. You’d be looking for these settings:

Once you click ‘Open’ there, if you get a popup with ‘Connection closed by remote host’, then your computer is able to communicate with arduino.mydevices.com on port 8442. If you get a blank black window and no popup message, you’re blocked for some local reason that we can continue to help you figure out.
