Re: remote assistance problem



Greetings Jacob,

This error simply means that you're unable to connect to your contact. Are they using a
router or anything similar? If so, they may be using a router without Universal Plug and
Play (UPnP) support/enabled in which case Remote Assistance will not work through it.
