Bind Rserve() to IP address on Windows

A colleague in our IT department is trying to install Rserve() in a WINDOWS environment.

The Rserve() instance does respond to localhost requests (127.0.0.1).

However, it is not binding to the machine's external IP address. So it is not possible to call upon it from external machines.

Is there something special which needs to be done to troubleshoot or bind Rserve() to a specific IP address on WINDOWS ?

Thanks!

Solution

  • In the end, we've moved away from running Rserve() on Windows.
