### My Worker cannot find my Manager, what do I do?
First, ensure that the Manager port is open in your firewall. On Windows, you should be prompted by the system during the initial setup. If you're using a third-party antivirus, you may need to create a custom rule manually.
There can be a few causes for this, each with their own solution.
If you're still experiencing issues, check the Manager output on the terminal for any messages related to "auto-discovery" or "UPnP/SSDP". Often, Spotify can interfere, so try closing it before starting the Manager.
If that doesn't help, you'll have to tell the Worker where it can find the
Manager. This can be done on the commandline, by running it like
`flamenco-worker -manager http://192.168.0.1:8080/` (adjust the address to your
situation) or more permanently by [editing the worker configuration
file][workercfg].
1. **Check the Manager output on the terminal** for any messages related to "auto-discovery" or "UPnP/SSDP". Older versions of Spotify can interfere, so make sure to close that before you start the Manager.
2. Ensure that the **Manager port is open** in your firewall. On Windows, the system will prompt you for this during the initial setup. If you're using a third-party firewall (sometimes presenting itself as anti-virus software), you may need to create a custom rule manually. The default port is `8080`, which can be changed in [the Manager configuration file][managercfg].
3. If that doesn't help, you'll have to **tell the Worker where it can find the Manager**. This can be done on the commandline, by running it like `flamenco-worker -manager http://192.168.0.1:8080/` (adjust the address to your situation) or more permanently by editing [the worker configuration file][workercfg].
