Why isn't WebManEx Accessible from the Workstations?
ISSUE:  WebManex is accessible from the server but not workstations. 

RESOLUTION:  It is a firewall issue on server where WebmanEx directories reside.  So in such case you will need to open the correct port in the Windows Firewall on the server

How to configure it to open a port for inbound traffic:

To access the firewall: Press Start -> Type in "Firewall" -> Click on "Windows Firewall With Advanced Security"

You need to configure an inbound traffic rule, like so:

1. Right click "Inbound Rules" ,

2. On the left pane Choose "New Rule"

3. Choose "Port"

4. Under "Specific ports" enter your port number (8080)

5. Continue with "Next" until the end of the wizard, naming the rule when asked.

Check if your port is now accessible - you might need to restart the Windows Firewall service (under "Services").
