  Thread: LR Firewall Question
  User (assimkhokhar@spherion.com.nospam) posted: Folks,
  Here's one that is causing me some problems. Here's the scenario: LR installed on a laptop. Try to record Web traffic (HTTP/S) between my client and the web portal on the server. LR records nothing. No events seem to be picked up. Now I'm assuming it's because of the firewall between my laptop and the web server. If so, why can my Client browser pick up the traffic and hence display the correct pages, yet LR can't record this flow of traffic? Surely the firewall is open for such traffic? so what's LRs problem???
  Does LR have problems with Firewalls? If so then I can only assume it's not just me that has come across such problems, why is there no real guidance on this? Please help...

Also, you might want to try recording in analog mode with all data returned from the server selected. I have found that recording in context sensitive mode does not work with LoadRunner.

  Make sure your proxy settings are set correctly. Go to Run Time Settings and select the Proxy tab (under the VUser drop down menu). You can select "Obtain proxy settings from default browser". If this doesn't work, you'll need to set custom settings. You'll need to identify the IP address of the proxy server and the port. You may also need to set the authentication UserName and Password if required. Hope this helps.

  I've had no difficulty recording in context sensitive mode - with or without firewalls. As a previous poster "crazebt" stated - check your recording and runtime settings. Also, make sure that the browser used to record is setup correctly.
