Not ready, Please check your connection

Hi, i'm using TeamViwer on a Windows 10.1 and since last month I couldn't connect to any computer since this message started showing up.

I've tried the support, and they only say to make sure that port 5938 has been opened for outgoing connections and also unblock the following URL: *.teamviewer.com

Which I did, and it didn't work. I also tried to stop Windows Firewall and nothing changed.

I don't use any other security programs beside the windows defender and firewall.

I've been getting this error since I reinstalled Windows, it was working just fine before, nothing changed besides that. Any solution to this?

master9.teamviewer.com is resolving to 178.77.120.106 because that is in your hostfile. Check one of the working computers you have access to, hopefully they can ping master9.teamviewer.com and have it resolve to a different (closer) IP.

I think you can delete the TeamViewer entries from your hosts file, and make sure you are using the same DNS as the working computers.

Are you set to only accept LAN connections?

Options > General Tab > Incomming LAN Connections >

LAN Only

Otherwise, can you enable and use LAN connections? Just use your IP address instead of a TeamViewer ID. This will help determine if there is someting wrong with your TeamViewer install or your access through your router\firewall.

I have many of these problems on many workstations. Usually it is connected with ESET Antivirus. So what I do (that always helps) is usually:

1. Add teamviewer and teamviewer service to exclusions in scanning. Then restart pc.
2. Run in command line (as admin):
netsh winsock reset
netsh int ip reset
(then restart) that usually helps and teaviewer starts to connect again.
3. If above doesn't help, I go to network interfaces in device management and then delete lan and wifi interfaces (without deleting drivers) - just delete interfaces and restart pc.
These steps always help to restore teamviewer connectivity.

Many of my hosts fail randomly after some windows updates (i think). I often have to use other software to remotely connect to a host, use these steps in order to repair teamviewer.

Is networking OK? Make sure internet access is working, access to file shares, printers, etc.
Can others connect to you with TeamViewer? Check if the problem is just outgoing connections.
Did Windows update to build 1703? We have had some issues with other applications after that upgrade.
Have you tried re-installing TeamViewer? You can keep your settings, watch for the checkbox during the uninstall wizard.
What version of TeamViewer are you using? May need to upgrade (or down-grade).

Let us know if you find a solution!

#2 fixed it.

Thanks!

Check to ensure the proper firewall settings exists.

When I started receiving this error, I found that the settings for the Private network were not allowing Teamviewer to connect. It was only allowed on public networks. Allowed private networks and it connected immediately.

My problem resolved when I unchecked the "Use new interface" option (under the General" tab)

Kuno777

Options->general, under "Network settings" click to configure "Proxy settings" and change to "No proxy"

Worked for me.

I put the same DNS as the computer teamviewer was working and it worked in mine too. I even deleted the teamviewer entries I had on Host file.

Thank You very much!

I have a similar issue with my laptop whereby at home Teamviewer is not ready but if I vpn to the office or use my laptop in the office, Teamviewer works fine.

I've checked the routing tables on my router, all good, checked the firewall rules, TV is allowed (uPNP is on anyway but I added a specific rule anyway)

Still no joy, so as of now, if I need to use it at home, I use the vpn to my office first.

I have no teamviewer entries in my hosts file, nothing blocking it in router, pc firewall is off, my PC DNS matches DNS in router settings, I can ping the master1.teamviewer.com server (and others)... yet still no connection. Any ideas?

I have two questions

1. yesterday, I was working on one of my client's computers and Windows was asking for the administrator (domain) credentials. The TeamViewer screen blanked and at the client's end, it was waiting for the credentials to be installed. I had to abort doing this remotely because I didn't want to give the client that information. Thus, a trip down to their office.

So, is there a way to get around this?

2 second question, when I restart a workstation, sometimes I'm given the option to reconnect after a restart but most times not. How can I set that so that I always am able to log back in without the client having to re-run the TV program and sending me a new password?

Thanks

jasonsmells1328

this happened to me during AVG installation. See if that ain't the problem. I re-installed Teamviewer, signed back in, VOILA!

kingpric

Reinstalling did solved my problem.

gabriel0515

I went on the other computer TeamViewer was working on:

Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter Settings > Right click on the connection > Propieties > IP V4 Protocol to see what DNS that computer was using, and did the same thing on mine to put the same DNS. You can also do that by cmd command.

It was a DNS problem for me, so try chaging you DNS somehow

gabriel0515 :can you explay how you did that?

and khchuang :how did you know what update you need to delete ?

i did a lot updates and dont have the one you have.

OK, so TeamViewer functions on LAN. Are you in Germany? Because I am in the USA and my IP addresses don't match yours.

I can ping master15.teamviewer.com and it resolves to 185.188.32.5

Try to ping one of the servers, if it fails try tracert to see where it stops.

thank you.
Its work for on the no. 2

I tried all above suggestions above to no avail. I inherited my laptop from company that went Bankrupt in July 2018. I think the TV ID: (tied to MAC address?) has not changed and I suspect the TV ID is blocked by teamviewer. If there are actually TV internal support persons here that can help, please email me at [edited by a moderator] and I can send you the TV IF to check internal records. I have used TV in both windows and Linux since 2009 and really enjoyed using it. Thanks everyone for the above suggestions. Very Frustrating problem and support access seems limited without a valid license.

Well, I found out that also Eset Security (NOD32 Antivirus) is blocking Teamviewer, too. I exclude Teamviewer_Service.exe from scanning, restart PC and it's working again. Try that way, too. Maybe some AV is blocking it.

The other thing that can do this is a broken IPv6 network. Turn off IPv6 on the client and see if it works.....

gabriel0515

It was deactivated, I set to "accept" and the message teamviewer shows is "Only LAN Connection avaliable". I was successful in triying to connect to my IP address.

Here is how I set my firewall Outbound and inbound rules.

I have also paste the below in "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts"

All of a sudden i had faced same issue. I went to task manager, deleted all teamviewer processes, and then started teamviewer again. Guess what, it worked. This is just a workaround and not solution but atleast your work won't stop.
