Attempt to [[server:start_stop|start the Framework Server]].    
=====Ping with TMSS10Ping=====

Ping the TapeTrack Framework Server with TMSS10Ping, using localhost if run on the same server or the IP or DNS of the server if run from another computer.
 
<code>
C:\WINDOWS\system32>TMSS10Ping localhost
44 bytes from 127.0.0.1: seq=1 time=6.00 ms
44 bytes from 127.0.0.1: seq=2 time=0.00 ms
44 bytes from 127.0.0.1: seq=3 time=0.00 ms
44 bytes from 127.0.0.1: seq=4 time=0.00 ms

--- localhost TMSS10Ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted
round-trip min/avg/max = 0.00/1.50/6.00 ms

netstat -abn | more

[svchost.exe]
  TCP    0.0.0.0:5000           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING
 [TMSS10Server.exe]
...

In this case:

1. The service was running.
2. TMSS10Ping was blocking (hanging).
3. TapeTrack was on port 5000, which means it was up and listening.

This is most definitely a Firewall problem.

If you do not have access to change the Windows Firewall rules check with your Windows Admin team.
