access your new local FTP server, try the following:
1
Using the Registry Editor, copy the value of the field
URL
under the key:
HKLM\Software\Hewlett-Packard
\Toptools\CoreComponents\RMDB
\Desktop PCs
Then paste the value into your web browser's
Address window. Check what is downloaded.

If this works correctly, you should receive a text file
containing a single line of text such as:
8 FULL http://<myserver>
/<path>/TOPTOOLSRMDB.exe
3
Copy the last field of this line (the URL
http://..etc..
)
and download the file it references by pasting the
URL in the browser’s address window. This should
download an executable file.

If one of the tests in steps 1-3 fails, then it is very
likely that the local FTP server is not installed
correctly. You should check the section on “Setting
Up Your Local FTP Server” above.
5
If all of the steps above work but you still have an
access problem, check that the proxy settings in your
web browser's configuration for you as a user, are
the same as the proxy settings configured for
Toptools Device Manager. Use the Toptools Device
Manager command
Settings > Internet and E-mail
and check the settings specified there.
