Connecting from VS to controller

Hello there,

we have one machine with Visual Studio and the second one with a controller installed. There is a VPN between those boxes and a firewall as well. We opened all ports in both directions which are mentioned in the documentation or in this forum. But when the test is started in the Visual Studio, the controller tries to connect back to the Visual Studio (probably to get the files of the test). And here is my problem: The Visual Studio listens for a connection from the controller on a dynamic port which changes (e.g. 1053, 1055, ....). Is there a way to make this port fixed?

Best regards,
Lada Sobr

By default VS will grab any open port for listening, you can tell it to use a specific port by adding this registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\VisualStudio\8.0\EnterpriseTools\QualityTools\ListenPortRange

After creating the key, add a new DWORD value:

PortRangeStart

and give some port value.
