Administration from local network

To administer WinRoute from the local network or from the computer running WinRoute you have to perform the following:

1. Verify that WinRoute Engine is up and running
To check that WinRoute has been started, run WinRoute Engine monitor from the WinRoute Program group. A small, round blue and white icon will appear in the system tray of the task bar (lower right corner of the desktop). This indicates that the application is running. A red cross through the icon indicates that WinRoute is stopped. To start the WinRoute Engine simply right- click on the icon and choose Start WinRoute Engine from menu that popped up.

You may also copy the WRAdmin.exe file to any other computer in your network and run it from there.


When the Admin window pops up, either leave preset local host or enter the IP address of the computer where WinRoute is running. Enter a user name and the password used for administration.
