    Hi All
    I used to have a server running Homegate and Cgate and another PC running Homegate connecting to the sevewrs Cgate
    As long aas I had set everything in the access.txt all worked wonderfully for years.
    Then a windows 10 upgrade on both machines seems to have broken the system
    th PC tries to log on to the cgat on the server and I get
    Error: Connection to Cgate failed

    I has the right ip address of the server and the access.txt is correct.
    any ideas as this leaves me one Homegate short.
    Homegate 4.12.1.0
    Toolkit 1.14.8
    Cgate v2.10.6
    Java 1.7.0_67

    Thanks in advance
    Mike

    I note your versions of Toolkit and CGate are a little old... Have you tried the latest versions?

    I don't know if this is your problem but there was an issue a little while back where something in a Windows update broke the secure socket connection to CGate. This was fixed in a fairly recent version.
