1st post here
I appreciate that this problem has been posted before with various work rounds. The ones I understood I tried like ensuring the correct java bit/ Minimwatch installation.
I have installed Minimserver on an Asustor AS-5002T and that appears to be running ok.
I have installed Minimwatch on a Lenovo g505 lap-top 64 bit.
I can't get Minimwatch to connect with the server. The desk top icon stays grey.
Reading through some of the posts here clearly some posters have a good comprehension of computers. I don't so if you are able to help get me up and running I would appreciate that.
Cheers

I'm not sure whether you are referring to the MinimWatch launch icon on your desktop or the small minim icon in your system tray (bottom right corner). The launch icon should always stay grey but the small minim icon should change from grey to green when MinimServer is running.

If it is the small minim icon that is staying grey, this is likely to be caused by the firewall settings on your Lenovo laptop. To confirm this, try completely disabling the Windows firewall on your laptop. Does this make a difference?
