Setting Network Adapter Category

Edited

In many cases, Windows will block network traffic if a network interface is set to Public instead of Private. This can disrupt Cosworth, MoTeC and other telemetry traffic as these systems use IP to transfer data between server and client.

Checking Network Adapter Category

  1. Open the Start Menu and search for "Powershell"

  2. Select the "Run as Administrator" option.

  1. Inside the terminal window, run "Get-NetConnectionProfile"

  2. All of the network interfaces will be displayed, along with their network categories.

If the Network Category of your system's main connection is set to Private, then you may experience issues with Telemetry traffic.

Setting Network Adapter Category

  1. Run the steps above to open an elevated terminal and see the network adapter details.

  2. Make a note of the "Interface Index" of your systems main network connection.

  1. Run the command "Set-NetConnectionProfile -InterfaceIndex <X> -NetworkCategory Private" - Replacing <X> with the interface index you noted before.

  1. Restart your Telemetry Server and your Analysis Client.
