If everything seems to be configured (IP address, Port, Firewall Router, UTG and Execu/Tech software) but you're still getting a Winsock error, then the UTG is either not running, not working properly, running on a different port than specified, or something is blocking the connection.

Verify that the Shift4 UTG service or 'Stand alone' is running. If it isn't, your connection attempts will fail.

Changing the port number in the UTG service will require the assistance of Shift4. Shift4 Contact Information: http://www.shift4.com/company/contact/

If the connection is failing with Telnet, Execu/Tech will not be able to assist in resolving the problem. Please contact a qualified network technician to assist you. 

If you've tried everything and still can't get it to work, it may be that ports are still being blocked outside of the known firewalls. Try changing the port on which the UTG is listening. Instructions are at the bottom of this page.
