Its been a while since i brewed and so i cannot remember if i am just missing something or what...
I put my IP address (from finder) into the BCS utilities field and all i get is the Red Check.
I am running 4.1.2 on my machine.
Thoughts?
Thanks

BCS-482 - Cannot Connect to Utilities for Backup, etc
Re: BCS-482 - Cannot Connect to Utilities for Backup, etc
Additional info. I can get the utility connected to the BCS on mobile using the same IP address mentioned above.
Both BCS and the PC I am using are hardwired to the router. Would that make a difference vs using my phone?
Thanks in advance

From the PC where the utilities don't work, can you access the BCS normally at it's IP address?
Re: BCS-482 - Cannot Connect to Utilities for Backup, etc
Yessir. No problem, which is why it took me a while to even notice it. Only change i can think of since i last used the BCS was changing from an ATT wifi gateway to a Netgear Orbi Mesh system.
Finder finds it right away on the PC - again it is hardwired to my router. My wifi adapter was not mesh compatible so i had to go wired. I can connect straightaway to that IP and run the BCS with no problem.
I can also bring up the BCS IP on my phone when on the home wifi.
When i put the same IP into the utility on my phone it connects no issue. When i do so on the PC i am using the run the BCS, I get red check/no connect.
Thanks in advance

Hello, I had the same issue with desktop Chrome and a BCS-462. It works if I use Firefox browser. Hoping that works for you too.

Hi, I had the same problem, fixed this as others have, by running the brewery using Firefox instead of Chrome, dunno why this works, but it does!
