Component : Windows and Unix Agent
Resolution
Be sure that all firewall communication is open between the agent and AE server. In this case specifically, look at inbound ports on the AE server
Possible troubleshooting to help find if there are network problems:
Run the following in windows powershell from agent server TO the AE server where the JCP is that's used in the agent ini connection= setting:
Test-NetConnection -ComputerName "IP_OR_SERVERNAME_OR_FQDN" -Port "JCP_port_number" -InformationLevel "Detailed"
