New connection from Windows 10 to warpinator on linux mint timing out

[raydleemsc]

Running warpinator on linux mint (20.2 - kernel 5.4.0-109) in debug mode shows the windows 10 winpinator discovered for new registration, then awaiting_duplex, deadline_exceeded, then unreachable, then going back to awaiting_duplex again and again.
Is there a debug mode for winpinator that can help diagnose yet?
Same group code used, same subnet, firewall ports opened (win10 fw is opened by app)
win10 is a laptop with wifi connected to the same router to which the linux desktop is connected.

Unfortunately there is no debug mode for Winpinator, at least for now. But have you checked if the network interface has been properly chosen? Go to Preferences > Connection and switch from Automatic to your wifi card there. Hope that will help.

I've got warpinator working occasionally between smartphone and linux desktop, but windows laptop is still resisting for some reason - tried on same router (laptop and smartphone on wifi, desktop wired), desktop and phone can exchange files (on occasion) but laptop cannot connect at all

Had connection occasionally working up until a few days ago, but recently no connection at all - even with firewalls down (and no internet interference)
