Dear NEOS optimizers,

I�m currently testing the NEOS Submission Tool. Unfortunately, I�m always getting �Error Communicating with Server�. I would like to know why am I getting this message. Are there any changes in the host and port? do I have to open a port to connect to the server? do I have to allow access through my firewall to certain program?

By the way, I�m trying to connect to are:

Server host: neos.mcs.anl.gov

Server port: 3332

Thanks in advance for your help,

Andr�s
