Could not connect to server. Check that the host name and port values are correct

Question

I'm trying to use Coverity Connect in eclipse for code analysis .

I installed plugins related to Coverity in my eclipse.

When I go to Windows -> Preferences -> Coverity Analysis,

It's asking host name, port, user name and password.

After entering all details, when I click Test Connection , following popup message is showing

"Could not connect to server. Check that the host name and port values are correct".

I installed cov-analysis-win32-6.5.1 in my desktop.

Answer 1

What exactly are you trying to connect to? From what it sounds like, you're trying to connect to someone else's computer or server (potentially a home computer?), but I'm gonna need some clarification on that if not. If that's the case, most likely they don't have port forwarding enabled, so other people can't connect to their computer.
