I keep getting the error “Remote computer is not available.” when reading from remote public windows server 2003 queue. The queue is on server B. My application is on server A;
- Amazingly, server A can drop a message on any queue on server B, i just can’t read a message off from B.
- The two servers A and B are on the same domain.
- all other servers can read and write on B’s queues
- it happened after I restarted server A
- i have restarted A again in vain
- msmq is running on A and B
Online suggestions are all not working.
It doesn’t look like a trust issue between servers A and B. Please help
I got the solution. The approach in my comment above worked.
The thing is, port 135 was blocked by our IT-Networks guys. This doesn’t immediately affect pulling messages. It had to be after restarting server A that B rejected its request due to failed RPC requests.
Again, thanks to MSMQ from the plumber’s mate
