Virtual control panel fails to start

Learn why the virtual control panel (VCP) might fail to start.

If the VCP fails to start, do the following:

Verify that the cables are correctly connected. For more information, see Cabling the Operations Console to your server.
Verify that the resources of the PC are free of address or interrupt request (IRQ) conflicts. The Operations Console uses addresses in the range 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.0.255. If you run any software that makes your PC SOCKS-enabled, check your SOCKS configuration, and make sure that the entry is as follows:
```
Direct 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0
```
A SOCKS-enabled PC accesses the Internet through a firewall, such as Microsoft® Proxy Client, Hummingbird SOCKS Client, or others.
