Error: 'Cannot resolve ASIC server name to IP Address'

Updated over a month ago

This occurs when the internet connection fails because of the incorrect firewall configuration.
​
To test your firewall settings

  • Press and hold the Windows button and press R on your keyboard. The Run window appears.

  • In the Open field, type cmd, then click OK

  • In the Command prompt, type telnet edge1.asic.gov.au 5610

  • Press Enter. A blank, black dos window appears immediately with the cursor flashing at the left top screen.


If you receive an error message such as "could not open a connection" then the connection is most likely blocked by the firewall.
You will need to open up port 5610 in your firewall to allow both inbound and outbound traffic to/from edge1.asic.gov.au and edge2.asic.gov.au.
