If your tablet/phone and computer are on the same local network, but the satellite indicator is showing up on the computer name, then this could be due to the possibility that the ports being used (6783, 6784, and 6785 by default) are blocked by a firewall from the OS or third-party antivirus or security software.  Or possibly the specified ports are being occupied by other applications like Skype or others.

Here are some suggestions for you to try in various conditions.

1.  Sometimes, just a simple computer restart, or un-installing the Splashtop app from the tablet or phone and then re-installing again, can solve this issue.

 

2.  For Windows 7:

Please add another firewall policy for opening ports 6783, 6784, and 6785, which are used by Splashtop by default. 

[Procedure]:  Open the Windows Start Menu, open the All Programs list, type “firewall,” access the Advanced Firewall Settings.  Go to Inbound Rules, click New Rule… in the right panel, select the Port button, then click Next>.  

Select TCP, then type 6783-6785, as shown below.

 It’s better to re-start your computer after performing the above settings.

 3.  For XP and Vista:

Go to Control Panel -> Windows Firewall, and make sure  Don’t allow exceptions or Block incoming connection is unchecked.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”How can I calibrate the touch point offset when using Splashtop Personal/Splashtop 2 app with Win8?”]If you find that you can’t get an exact, precise touch-point when you connect your tablet (Splashtop app) to a computer running Win8, there are basically two ways in which you can calibrate the touch-point offset issue.

1.  Calibrate by changing the graphic board settings to “Aspect ratio:”

Please check the settings on your graphic card, and find an option like “Scaling Mode.”   Change it to the “Aspect Ratio” setting (or the setting most similar to “Aspect Ratio”) instead of other options like “No Scaling”.   You should be able to find this option in the nVidia and Intel graphic boards.

The sample illustration below is using nVidia graphic.  (Thanks to one of our valued users, “Markus,” for sharing!)

2.  Change the text size :

Go to Control Panel-> Personalization->  Display, and check option “Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays”.

3.  Calibrate the touch-point in Win8 : 

Windows 8 also provides a function that allows you to calibrate the touch-point.  Please check the attached document for details.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”How to use Splashtop Wired XDisplay?”]
